Search nodes by name. Supports exact and partial matching.
AI agents call search_figma_nodes_by_name to retrieve information from YetAnotherFigmaMCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a search/query tool that retrieves cached Figma design data without side effects. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The worst-case misuse is returning irrelevant search results, which has minimal blast radius on a caching service.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Search nodes by name' with 'exact and partial matching' — a retrieval operation with no modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Search nodes by name. Supports exact and partial matching. It is categorised as a Read tool in the YetAnotherFigmaMCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the YetAnotherFigma MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search_figma_nodes_by_name: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches YetAnotherFigmaMCP. Nothing to install.
search_figma_nodes_by_name is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search_figma_nodes_by_name rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for search_figma_nodes_by_name. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
search_figma_nodes_by_name is provided by the YetAnotherFigma MCP server (yk-lab/yet-another-figma-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
