Claude Talk to Figma MCP

by arinspunk

set_image_fill

Apply an image to a Figma node using a URL or base64 data, with options for scaling mode (fill, fit, crop, tile).

Instructions

Apply image to node from URL or base64 data

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nodeIdYesThe ID of the node to apply image to
imageSourceYesImage URL or base64 data string
sourceTypeYesSource type: 'url' for image URL, 'base64' for base64 encoded data
scaleModeNoImage scaling mode (default: FILL)
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so the description carries full burden. It only states the action without disclosing side effects (e.g., replacing existing fill), required permissions, or whether the operation is reversible.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise with a single sentence and no redundant information. However, it could be slightly more informative without sacrificing conciseness.

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?

Given the schema fully documents parameters, the description suffices for a simple mutation tool. However, it lacks any mention of return values or confirmation of success, and no output schema exists to compensate.

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?

All 4 parameters have schema descriptions (100% coverage), so the description adds no extra meaning. The description does not elaborate on valid image formats or constraints beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Apply image to node') and the sources ('URL or base64 data'). However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like 'set_image' or 'replace_image_fill', which might have similar purposes.

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 this tool vs alternatives like 'replace_image_fill' or 'set_image'. No context on prerequisites or exclusions.

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