async ({ nodeId }) => { try { await sendCommandToFigma("delete_node", { nodeId }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Deleted node with ID: ${nodeId}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error deleting node: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, }, ], }; } } - Zod input schema for the 'delete_node' tool, requiring a 'nodeId' string.
nodeId: z.string().describe("The ID of the node to delete"), }, async ({ nodeId }) => { - src/talk_to_figma_mcp/tools/modification-tools.ts:186-213 (registration)Registration of the 'delete_node' tool on the MCP server using server.tool(), providing name, description, input schema, and handler.
