Get all styles from the current Figma document
AI agents call get_styles to retrieve information from Cursor Talk to Figma MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Even though get_styles only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get all styles from the current Figma document. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Cursor Talk to Figma MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Cursor Talk to Figma MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_styles: 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 Cursor Talk to Figma MCP. Nothing to install.
get_styles 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 get_styles 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 get_styles. 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.
get_styles is provided by the Cursor Talk to Figma MCP server (ysocrius/talk-to-figma-cursor). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
