Figma Write Bridge MCP

by kicholiz

ungroup_node

Ungroups a GROUP node by moving its children up to the parent layer, making nested Figma elements easier to edit or reorganize.

Instructions

Ungroup a GROUP node, moving its children up to the group's parent.

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses the behavioral effect on children (moved up to the group's parent), but omits whether the group node itself is deleted, what authorization is needed, and what the call returns.

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?

A single tight sentence with the action front-loaded and the consequence trailing. Every clause earns its place with no redundancy.

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 one-parameter mutation with no output schema and no annotations, the description covers the core effect but leaves gaps: fate of the removed group node, error behavior on non-group input, and any permission needs are all unstated.

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 0%, so the description must compensate. It does constrain the single parameter semantically by requiring the target to be a GROUP node, which adds meaning beyond the bare 'string' schema type, but adds no id format or discovery guidance.

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?

States a specific verb ('ungroup') and resource ('GROUP node') and describes the resulting structural effect. It is clearly the inverse of the sibling 'group_nodes', though it does not name that sibling explicitly.

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 versus alternatives like 'reparent_node', 'arrange_children', or 'group_nodes'. There is also no precondition stated (e.g., that the node must be a group, or what happens on a non-group node).

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