Implementation Reference
- The handler function that implements the core logic for the 'create_star' tool. It sends a 'create_star' command to Figma using sendCommandToFigma with parameters like position, size, points, inner radius, colors, etc., and returns a formatted response with the created star's ID or an error message.try { const result = await sendCommandToFigma("create_star", { x, y, width, height, points: points || 5, innerRadius: innerRadius || 0.5, name: name || "Star", parentId, fillColor, strokeColor, strokeWeight, }); const typedResult = result as { id: string, name: string }; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Created star with ID: ${typedResult.id}, ${points || 5} points, and inner radius ratio of ${innerRadius || 0.5}` } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error creating star: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}` } ] }; } } );
- Zod input schema for the 'create_star' tool, validating parameters such as position (x,y), dimensions (width, height), star properties (points, innerRadius), name, parentId, and styling (fillColor, strokeColor, strokeWeight).x: z.number().describe("X position"), y: z.number().describe("Y position"), width: z.number().describe("Width of the star"), height: z.number().describe("Height of the star"), points: z.number().min(3).optional().describe("Number of points (default: 5)"), innerRadius: z.number().min(0.01).max(0.99).optional().describe("Inner radius ratio (0.01-0.99, default: 0.5)"), name: z.string().optional().describe("Optional name for the star"), parentId: z.string().optional().describe("Optional parent node ID to append the star to"), fillColor: z .object({ r: z.number().min(0).max(1).describe("Red component (0-1)"), g: z.number().min(0).max(1).describe("Green component (0-1)"), b: z.number().min(0).max(1).describe("Blue component (0-1)"), a: z.number().min(0).max(1).optional().describe("Alpha component (0-1)"), }) .optional() .describe("Fill color in RGBA format"), strokeColor: z .object({ r: z.number().min(0).max(1).describe("Red component (0-1)"), g: z.number().min(0).max(1).describe("Green component (0-1)"), b: z.number().min(0).max(1).describe("Blue component (0-1)"), a: z.number().min(0).max(1).optional().describe("Alpha component (0-1)"), }) .optional() .describe("Stroke color in RGBA format"), strokeWeight: z.number().positive().optional().describe("Stroke weight"), }, async ({ x, y, width, height, points, innerRadius, name, parentId, fillColor, strokeColor, strokeWeight }) => {
