Plumb (plumb-mcp)

by tathagat22

Plumb · screenshot

plumb_screenshot
Idempotent

Render a Figma screen or node to PNG/JPG and save it locally for use as a visual reference when building UI from the design system, and as input for verification.

Instructions

Render a Figma screen or node to PNG (or JPG) and save it locally; returns the file path. Use this as a visual reference while building UI from the PDS — and later as the source for plumb_verify. Plugin path; needs the Plumb plugin paired.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idNoNode id to render.
outNoOutput path or filename. Absolute paths are honoured as-is; bare filenames are placed under the screenshots directory. Defaults to '<name>-<id>.<ext>', auto-suffixed on collision.
nameNoScreen name — resolved against the file.
scaleNoRender scale. Default 2.
formatNoOutput format. Default PNG.
Behavior4/5

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

Discloses that it saves a file locally and returns the path. Also mentions the need for the Plumb plugin, which is important behavioral context beyond the annotations (idempotentHint=true). No contradiction.

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 plus one about plugin path. Front-loaded with the main action. No unnecessary words.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Covers purpose, usage context, plugin dependency, and basic output. Could mention collision handling or idempotency explicitly, but the schema covers those details.

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 covers 100% of parameters with descriptions. The tool description adds minimal extra meaning beyond stating it renders a Figma screen or node, which ties to id and name parameters.

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 (render), resource (Figma screen or node), and output (PNG/JPG file locally saved, returning file path). Distinguishes itself from sibling tools by being the only screenshot tool.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly mentions using it as a visual reference for building UI and as a source for plumb_verify, providing context for when to use. No explicit exclusions or alternatives, but the context is clear.

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