Implementation Reference

  • Registration of the 'duplicate_page' tool in the MCP server via server.tool(), with the handler that sends the command via WebSocket.
    server.tool(
      "duplicate_page",
      "Duplicate an existing page in the Figma document, creating a complete copy of all its contents",
      {
        pageId: z.string().describe("ID of the page to duplicate"),
        name: z.string().optional().describe("Optional name for the duplicated page (defaults to 'Original Name (Copy)')"),
      },
      async ({ pageId, name }) => {
        try {
          const result = await sendCommandToFigma("duplicate_page", { pageId, name });
          const typedResult = result as { id: string; name: string; originalName: string };
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Duplicated page "${typedResult.originalName}" → "${typedResult.name}" with ID: ${typedResult.id}`,
              },
            ],
          };
        } catch (error) {
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Error duplicating page: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
              },
            ],
          };
        }
      }
    );

  • Generic handler that sends any Figma command (including 'duplicate_page') via WebSocket and returns the response as a promise.
    export function sendCommandToFigma(
      command: FigmaCommand,
      params: unknown = {},
      timeoutMs: number = 300000
    ): Promise<unknown> {
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        // If not connected, try to connect first
        if (!ws || ws.readyState !== WebSocket.OPEN) {
          connectToFigma();
          reject(new Error("Not connected to Figma. Attempting to connect..."));
          return;
        }
    
        // Check if we need a channel for this command
        const requiresChannel = command !== "join";
        if (requiresChannel && !currentChannel) {
          reject(new Error("Must join a channel before sending commands"));
          return;
        }
    
        const id = uuidv4();
        const request = {
          id,
          type: command === "join" ? "join" : "message",
          ...(command === "join"
            ? { channel: (params as any).channel, sessionId: SESSION_ID }
            : { channel: currentChannel }),
          message: {
            id,
            command,
            params: {
              ...(params as any),
              commandId: id, // Include the command ID in params
            },
          },
        };
    
        // Set timeout for request
        const timeout = setTimeout(() => {
          if (pendingRequests.has(id)) {
            pendingRequests.delete(id);
            logger.error(`Request ${id} to Figma timed out after ${timeoutMs / 1000} seconds`);
            reject(new Error('Request to Figma timed out'));
          }
        }, timeoutMs);
    
        // Store the promise callbacks to resolve/reject later
        pendingRequests.set(id, {
          resolve,
          reject,
          timeout,
          lastActivity: Date.now()
        });
    
        // Send the request
        logger.info(`Sending command to Figma: ${command}`);
        logger.debug(`Request details: ${JSON.stringify(request)}`);
        ws.send(JSON.stringify(request));
      });
    }
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, description carries full burden. It states 'duplicate' and 'complete copy' but does not disclose default naming behavior (schema covers it), placement of duplicate, or any side effects. Adequate but could be more transparent.

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?

Single sentence with clear verb and object. No fluff, front-loaded with action. Every word earns its place.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a simple tool with two params and no output schema, description covers main purpose but omits placement of duplicated page and potential error conditions. Adequate for basic use but not fully complete.

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%: pageId and name are fully described. The description adds no further parameter meaning beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

Description clearly states the action 'Duplicate an existing page' and the scope 'in the Figma document', with effect 'creating a complete copy of all its contents'. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_page (new blank) and delete_page.

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 vs. alternatives like create_page, and no prerequisites mentioned (e.g., page must exist). Does not state that the duplicate is placed after the original or any conflict resolution.

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