Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
get_document_infoA

Get detailed information about the current Figma document

get_selectionA

Get information about the current selection in Figma

read_my_designC

Get detailed information about the current selection in Figma, including all node details

get_node_infoC

Get detailed information about a specific node in Figma

get_nodes_infoC

Get detailed information about multiple nodes in Figma

create_rectangleC

Create a new rectangle in Figma

create_frameC

Create a new frame in Figma

create_textB

Create a new text element in Figma

set_fill_colorC

Set the fill color of a node in Figma can be TextNode or FrameNode

set_stroke_colorB

Set the stroke color of a node in Figma

move_nodeC

Move a node to a new position in Figma

clone_nodeC

Clone an existing node in Figma

resize_nodeB

Resize a node in Figma

delete_nodeB

Delete a node from Figma

delete_multiple_nodesB

Delete multiple nodes from Figma at once

export_node_as_imageB

Export a node as an image from Figma

set_text_contentB

Set the text content of an existing text node in Figma

get_stylesA

Get all styles from the current Figma document

get_local_componentsA

Get all local components from the Figma document

get_annotationsA

Get all annotations in the current document or specific node

set_annotationC

Create or update an annotation

set_multiple_annotationsB

Set multiple annotations parallelly in a node

create_component_instanceA

Create an instance of a component in Figma. Use componentId for fast local component instantiation, or componentKey for library imports.

get_instance_overridesA

Get all override properties from a selected component instance. These overrides can be applied to other instances, which will swap them to match the source component.

set_instance_overridesA

Apply previously copied overrides to selected component instances. Target instances will be swapped to the source component and all copied override properties will be applied.

set_corner_radiusB

Set the corner radius of a node in Figma

scan_text_nodesB

Scan all text nodes in the selected Figma node

scan_nodes_by_typesB

Scan for child nodes with specific types in the selected Figma node

set_multiple_text_contentsC

Set multiple text contents parallelly in a node

set_layout_modeB

Set the layout mode and wrap behavior of a frame in Figma

set_paddingB

Set padding values for an auto-layout frame in Figma

set_axis_alignB

Set primary and counter axis alignment for an auto-layout frame in Figma

set_layout_sizingB

Set horizontal and vertical sizing modes for an auto-layout frame in Figma

set_item_spacingB

Set distance between children in an auto-layout frame

get_reactionsA

Get Figma Prototyping Reactions from multiple nodes. CRITICAL: The output MUST be processed using the 'reaction_to_connector_strategy' prompt IMMEDIATELY to generate parameters for connector lines via the 'create_connections' tool.

set_default_connectorC

Set a copied connector node as the default connector

create_connectionsB

Create connections between nodes using the default connector style

set_focusA

Set focus on a specific node in Figma by selecting it and scrolling viewport to it

set_selectionsA

Set selection to multiple nodes in Figma and scroll viewport to show them

create_componentB

Create a new Component (not an instance) in Figma. This is the foundation for building a component library.

create_component_setA

Combine multiple Component variants into a ComponentSet. Each component must have variant-style naming like 'Property=Value'.

insert_svgB

Insert an SVG string into Figma. Use this to create icons from SVG markup. The SVG will be converted to Figma vector nodes.

set_component_propertyA

Add a Component Property (Boolean, Text, Instance Swap, or Variant) to a Component or ComponentSet. For INSTANCE_SWAP: defaultValue must be the component KEY (not node ID), and targetChildId should be the child Instance node whose mainComponent will be linked.

set_component_property_referencesA

Set componentPropertyReferences on a sublayer within a Component. Links a child node's property to an existing component property. Keys: 'visible'|'characters'|'mainComponent'.

create_variable_collectionA

Create a new Variable Collection with modes. Use this to set up the theming system (Colors, Spacing, Radius, Typography, Font collections).

create_variableB

Create a new Variable in an existing Variable Collection.

set_variable_valueA

Set the value of a Variable for a specific mode. For COLOR type, pass hex string like '#FF0000'.

set_variable_mode_nameB

Rename a mode in a Variable Collection.

bind_variableB

Bind a Variable to a node property. This connects component properties to the theming system.

set_opacityA

Set the opacity of a node (0 to 1).

set_visibilityB

Show or hide a node.

set_text_styleA

Set text style properties: font family, size, weight, line height, letter spacing, alignment, decoration, case.

set_effectsB

Set effects on a node: drop shadow, inner shadow, layer blur, background blur.

create_ellipseA

Create an ellipse/circle in Figma. Useful for avatars, radio buttons, status indicators.

create_lineC

Create a line in Figma. Useful for dividers.

flatten_nodeB

Flatten a node (or group) into a single vector. Useful for cleaning up imported SVG icons.

create_boolean_operationA

Create a boolean operation (union, subtract, intersect, exclude) from multiple nodes. Useful for complex icon shapes.

batch_createA

Execute multiple Figma commands in a single batch call. Dramatically improves performance for bulk operations like creating many icons or setting up variables.

get_local_variablesA

Get all local Variable Collections and their variables with values. Useful for inspecting the current variable/theming setup.

set_node_nameB

Rename a node in Figma.

group_nodesC

Group multiple nodes together.

convert_to_componentA

Convert an existing Frame or Group into a Component. Preserves all children and properties.

create_icon_componentA

Create an icon component from SVG content. Inserts SVG, flattens vectors, resizes to standard size, sets fill color, and converts to a Component. Returns component ID and key.

get_connected_filesA

List all Figma design files currently connected via the FigmaExporter plugin. Shows which file is active (receives commands).

set_active_fileB

Switch which Figma file receives commands. Pass a file name or channel keyword to match.
