Claude Talk to Figma MCP

by arinspunk

replace_image_fill

Replace an existing image fill on a Figma node with a new image from a URL or base64 data, preserving its current transform.

Instructions

Replace existing image on node with new image while preserving transform

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nodeIdYesThe ID of the node with image to replace
newImageSourceYesNew image URL or base64 data
sourceTypeYesSource type: 'url' or 'base64'
preserveTransformNoPreserve existing image transform (default: true)
Behavior3/5

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

The description discloses the key behavioral trait of preserving the transform, but with no annotations provided, it lacks details on side effects, error handling, or required authentication. It does not contradict annotations as none exist, but it offers only minimal behavioral context.

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 description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the action and key behavior. Every word earns its place with no unnecessary verbosity.

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?

Without an output schema and no annotations, the description fails to explain what happens after replacement, such as whether the old image is removed or what the return value is. It also does not address edge cases or prerequisites, leaving the tool incomplete for an AI agent to fully understand its 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?

The input schema has 100% description coverage for all 4 parameters, so the schema already explains what each parameter does. The description adds no additional meaning beyond the schema, resulting in a baseline score of 3.

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 action ('Replace existing image on node') and the key differentiator ('while preserving transform'), distinguishing it from siblings like set_image_fill or set_image which may not preserve transform.

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?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like set_image_fill or set_image. It lacks context on prerequisites, such as requiring the node to already have an image fill, and does not mention when to choose this over other tools.

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