get_bound_variables
Retrieve variable bindings for Figma design nodes to identify which variables control fills, strokes, and other properties.
Instructions
Get all variable bindings for a node. Shows which variables are bound to fills, strokes, and other properties.

| nodeId | Yes | The ID of the node to inspect |
Implementation Reference
- src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/modification-tools.ts:415-442 (registration)Registers the MCP tool 'get_bound_variables' using server.tool(). Includes schema validation with Zod and the handler function that sends a command to Figma and formats the response.

It calls sendCommandToFigma to retrieve bound variables for the given nodeId and returns the result as formatted JSON text, or an error message.
