delete_style

Destructive

Remove a paint, text, effect, or grid style from Figma by specifying its style ID. Clean up unused styles to keep design libraries organized.

Instructions

Delete a style (paint, text, effect, or grid) by its ID.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
styleIdYesStyle ID to delete
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already show destructiveHint=true, so the agent knows deletion is destructive. The description adds no further behavioral details (e.g., whether deletion fails if the style is in use or affects history).

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?

The description is a single concise sentence that immediately states the action and object. 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?

For a simple tool with one parameter and no output schema, the description combined with annotations provides complete context. The agent can understand what the tool does and its destructive nature.

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 coverage is 100%, and the schema already describes the styleId parameter. The description's mention of 'by its ID' adds no new information beyond the schema.

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 explicitly states 'Delete a style' with specific types (paint, text, effect, or grid) and identifies the method (by its ID). This clearly differentiates it from sibling tools like create_paint_style or delete_variable.

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?

The description indicates the tool is used to delete styles, providing clear context. However, it does not specify when not to use it or mention any prerequisites or side effects, such as how deletion interacts with styles applied to nodes.

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