## figma.status()
Check connection status to Figma plugin. Call this first to verify the plugin is running.
```javascript
// Use figma_status tool directly, or inside figma_execute:
await figma.status()
// Returns: { connected: true, pluginVersion: "1.0.0", documentName: "...", currentPage: "..." }
```
Always call `figma_status` before running `figma_execute` to ensure the connection is active.
