create_frame

Create a new frame in a Figma document, specifying its position, size, and optional properties like fill, stroke, and auto-layout settings.

Instructions

Create a new frame in Figma

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
xYesX position
yYesY position
nameNoOptional name for the frame
widthYesWidth of the frame
heightYesHeight of the frame
parentIdNoOptional parent node ID to append the frame to
fillColorNoFill color in RGBA format
layoutModeNoAuto-layout mode for the frame
layoutWrapNoWhether the auto-layout frame wraps its children
paddingTopNoTop padding for auto-layout frame
itemSpacingNoDistance between children in auto-layout frame. Note: This value will be ignored if primaryAxisAlignItems is set to SPACE_BETWEEN.
paddingLeftNoLeft padding for auto-layout frame
strokeColorNoStroke color in RGBA format
paddingRightNoRight padding for auto-layout frame
strokeWeightNoStroke weight
paddingBottomNoBottom padding for auto-layout frame
layoutSizingVerticalNoVertical sizing mode for auto-layout frame
counterAxisAlignItemsNoCounter axis alignment for auto-layout frame
primaryAxisAlignItemsNoPrimary axis alignment for auto-layout frame. Note: When set to SPACE_BETWEEN, itemSpacing will be ignored as children will be evenly spaced.
layoutSizingHorizontalNoHorizontal sizing mode for auto-layout frame
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided. Description only states the action, lacking disclosure of side effects, permissions needed, or error behavior. The tool creates a new node, but no details about the creation context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Single sentence is concise but too sparse; it does not earn its place by adding value beyond the name. Structure is minimal and lacks useful organization.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a complex tool with 20 parameters and no output schema, the description is insufficient. It does not explain what a frame is, return values, or how to use the parameters effectively.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%. The description adds no additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides for each parameter. Baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Description clearly states 'Create a new frame in Figma', using a specific verb and resource. It is clear about the action, but does not differentiate from other create tools among siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. The agent has no context for appropriate usage.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
