figma_discover_library_styles

Read-onlyIdempotent

List text, color, and effect styles from the current Figma file with an optional name filter, returning style IDs and keys for use in style preloading and text creation.

Instructions

List local and imported text styles, color styles, and effect styles in the current file. Returns style IDs and keys usable with preload_styles and textStyleId in create_text. Note: Figma Plugin API cannot enumerate library styles directly — for full library style discovery, use search_design_system from the Figma MCP. Optional nameFilter narrows results.

nameFilterNoOptional substring to filter style names (case-insensitive).
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint. Description adds return details (IDs and keys) and the limitation about library styles. No contradictions.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with main purpose, separate note for limitation. No unnecessary words.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Given the simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description fully covers purpose, limitations, and usage context. Complete for an agent to use.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage 100% with description. Description adds that nameFilter narrows results via substring matching, slightly enhancing schema info.

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 tool lists local and imported text, color, and effect styles in the current file. It distinguishes from siblings like figma_list_text_styles and search_design_system.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly notes when not to use (for library styles) and provides alternative (search_design_system). Also mentions the optional nameFilter for narrowing results.

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