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
Behavior1/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It only states the basic action without mentioning side effects, default placement, or requirements beyond parameters, so it fails to disclose important behavioral traits.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The single sentence is succinct and gets straight to the point with no wasted words, making it highly concise and well-structured.

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

Completeness1/5

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

Despite a complex 20-parameter schema with nested objects and enums, the description provides no high-level context about how the frame is created, where it appears, or what the result is, leaving the agent under-informed about the tool's overall behavior.

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 coverage is 100%, so the description is not required to explain parameters, but it also adds no additional semantics beyond the schema. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description uses the specific verb 'create' with the resource 'frame' and clarifies the context 'in Figma', making its purpose clear and distinguishing it from sibling tools like create_rectangle or create_text.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_rectangle or create_text, and no mention of prerequisites or context, leaving the agent without usage direction.

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