figma_delete_node

DestructiveIdempotent

Delete a node from a Figma document by its node ID. Enables programmatic removal of design elements for automation and cleanup within the Mimic AI design workflow.

Instructions

Delete a node from the Figma document.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nodeIdYes
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations already indicate destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false. Description only restates 'Delete' without adding context on permanence, cascade effects, or error handling.

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?

Very concise single sentence with no wasted words, but lacks structure for a complete specification.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity and lack of output schema, description should at least mention what happens on success, failure conditions, or that deletion is irreversible. It does not.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Single parameter nodeId is required, but description provides no details on its format, source, or acceptable values. Schema coverage is 0%, and description fails to compensate.

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?

Clearly states the action 'Delete' and the resource 'a node from the Figma document'. Differentiates from sibling tools like create, move, or visibility changes.

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 versus alternatives (e.g., setting visibility to false). No prerequisites or consequences mentioned.

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