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)}`,
              },
            ],
          };
        }
      }
    );

      timeoutMs: number = 300000

Schema Changelog

Changes observed during successful MCP inspections.

  1. Addedv0.8.2

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description alone must disclose behavior. It states a complete copy is made, but does not detail side effects (e.g., page position, naming collision handling beyond default, undoability). Basic transparency but insufficient for a mutation tool.

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 no wasted words. Clearly communicates the tool's action and result. Efficient and front-loaded.

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

Completeness2/5

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

No output schema and no annotations. Description lacks details on where the duplicate is placed, whether it's reversible, error handling for invalid pageId, or how it relates to siblings like clone_node. Incomplete for a side-effect tool.

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 has 100% coverage for both parameters. Description adds no extra meaning to parameter semantics; it only explains the overall effect. Baseline score of 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 clearly states the verb 'Duplicate' and resource 'an existing page', and specifies the result as 'creating a complete copy of all its contents'. It distinguishes from siblings like create_page (creates empty page) and clone_node (clones a node).

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives like clone_node or create_page. The purpose is straightforward, but the description lacks context about prerequisites or scenarios.

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