Check whether the Figma Desktop companion plugin is connected and get active document metadata

Ping the connected Figma companion plugin to verify live canvas communication

Retrieve the active Figma document name, all pages, current page, and currently selected nodes

Create a new frame (container or artboard) on the Figma canvas

Create a rectangle or box element (useful for cards, buttons, visual dividers)

Create a styled text element on the Figma canvas or inside a container. Strictly disallows emojis (use 'create_svg_icon' for vector icons). Automatically calculates and applies calibrated proportional leading (line-height) and optical tracking (letter-spacing) according to typographic hierarchy.

Configure Flexbox/AutoLayout rules (direction, padding, gap, alignment, wrapping) on an existing frame

Update dimensions, coordinates, fills, images (supports local file paths), corner radius, opacity, layout alignment, or text auto-resize of an existing node

Batch apply heading and body typography system across all text nodes inside a frame or artboard

Delete one or more nodes from the Figma canvas by their IDs

Duplicate an existing node or screen (e.g. for creating variant states for prototyping)

Add or update border stroke on a frame, card, button, or rectangle

Update the characters of an existing text layer. Emojis are strictly sanitized and proportional leading and tracking are automatically recalibrated.

Search for nodes on the current page by name keyword or node type (FRAME, TEXT, RECTANGLE, etc.)

Create a new page in the document or switch the active page

Render a PNG snapshot of a frame or component and return as base64 data URI for visual feedback

Inspect detailed properties, layout settings, dimensions, and children of any node by ID

Inspect currently selected elements on the Figma canvas

Retrieve a token-efficient semantic outline of the active document page or a specific screen (screens, buttons, cards, inputs, and flow starting points) without heavy vector noise

Generate a complete UI screen or component hierarchy in a single atomic pass from a structured JSON specification. Enforces enterprise UI/UX & HCI standards: strictly disallows emojis (use 'create_svg_icon' for icons), snaps spacing to 8pt grid, enforces minimum 44px interactive touch targets per Apple HIG / WCAG (Fitts's Law), and applies calibrated typography leading and tracking.

Architect and plan a multi-section UI screen creation OR design edit/refactor before code generation. Decomposes the UI into an ordered sequence of structured steps, establishes typography scale, 8pt grid dimensions, and layout constraints (wrapping, auto-layout directions, stretch alignment) to guarantee zero overflow/overlap. MANDATORY PROTOCOL GATE: Once this tool returns, the LLM MUST present the generated roadmap to the user for explicit confirmation before executing any canvas mutations.

Wire an interactive prototype transition from a clickable element (button, card) to a target screen or modal

Mark a screen frame as a named prototype flow starting point (e.g. 'Onboarding Flow', 'Purchase Flow')

Inspect all flow starting points and interactive prototype wiring across the current page

Link multiple prototype transitions in a single call (e.g. wiring up an entire user journey)

Extract active design tokens from the document (local paint color styles, text typography styles, and effect styles)

Render and insert scalable SVG vector graphics (icons, logos, custom vector shapes) onto the canvas

Create an ellipse or circular shape node on the canvas (ideal for user avatars, status badges, circular buttons, and indicator dots)

Create a reusable Figma component master on the canvas, or convert an existing frame/node into a component

Instantiate a reusable component instance from a master component ID, retaining link to the main component

Apply elevation shadows, inner shadows, and blurs to a node (DROP_SHADOW, INNER_SHADOW, LAYER_BLUR, BACKGROUND_BLUR)

Create a Figma Section to organize related artboards, user journeys, or screen flows on the canvas

Pan and zoom the Figma canvas viewport to focus on specific nodes, with optional selection

Configure interactive overlay prototype interactions (modals, dialogs, bottom sheets, slide-over panels, and dropdowns)

Audit and score any screen or the active canvas page against enterprise UI/UX and HCI compliance standards (Fitts's Law 44px touch targets, 8pt grid spacing consistency, proportional typography leading, and zero emojis)

Generate the complete 5 States of UI (Ideal, Empty with onboarding CTA, Loading/Skeleton shimmer, Empathetic Error with 1-click retry, and Partial/Boundary stress-test) as a Figma Section or Component Set

Audit visual design and interaction architecture against empirical cognitive psychology and Laws of UX (Hick's Law choice overload, Fitts's Law touch target reach & destructive action proximity, Miller's Law chunking, and Jakob's Law conventions)

Verify user journey continuum and prototype interaction completeness across canvas artboards, flagging orphan screens, dead-end traps, and unprotected destructive actions without confirmation safeguards

Generate a complete interactive Component Set with Default, Hover, Pressed, Focused (WCAG 2.4.7 accessible focus ring), and Disabled states with pre-wired prototype Smart Animate transitions

Audit text copy across screens for UX writing anti-patterns (Lorem Ipsum placeholders, ambiguous/lazy CTAs like 'Submit', robotic blaming error messages, and cognitive strain all-caps text), recommending empathetic high-converting alternatives

Headless read of full Figma file metadata, version history, components, styles, and document tree from Figma Cloud via REST API (requires FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN)
