by xlzuvekas

create_frame

Create a Figma frame with specified position, size, fill, stroke, and auto-layout properties.

Instructions

Create a new frame in Figma

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
xYesX position
yYesY position
nameNoOptional name for the frame
widthYesWidth of the frame
heightYesHeight of the frame
parentIdNoOptional parent node ID to append the frame to
fillColorNoFill color in RGBA format
layoutModeNoAuto-layout mode for the frame
layoutWrapNoWhether the auto-layout frame wraps its children
paddingTopNoTop padding for auto-layout frame
itemSpacingNoDistance between children in auto-layout frame. Note: This value will be ignored if primaryAxisAlignItems is set to SPACE_BETWEEN.
paddingLeftNoLeft padding for auto-layout frame
strokeColorNoStroke color in RGBA format
paddingRightNoRight padding for auto-layout frame
strokeWeightNoStroke weight
paddingBottomNoBottom padding for auto-layout frame
layoutSizingVerticalNoVertical sizing mode for auto-layout frame
counterAxisAlignItemsNoCounter axis alignment for auto-layout frame
primaryAxisAlignItemsNoPrimary axis alignment for auto-layout frame. Note: When set to SPACE_BETWEEN, itemSpacing will be ignored as children will be evenly spaced.
layoutSizingHorizontalNoHorizontal sizing mode for auto-layout frame
Behavior2/5

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

The description only indicates creation, but fails to disclose any behavioral traits such as required context (e.g., existing document), default values, or what happens when optional parameters are omitted. With no annotations provided, this is a significant gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence, which is concise but overly minimal for a complex tool with 20 parameters. It lacks any structured detail or front-loading of key information.

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 complexity (20 parameters, nested objects) and lack of output schema, the description does not provide sufficient context about default behavior, error conditions, or expected outcomes, making it incomplete for effective agent use.

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%, so each parameter already has a description. The tool description adds no additional semantics or constraints beyond the schema, resulting in a baseline score.

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?

The description clearly states the action ('Create a new frame in Figma'), but it does not differentiate this tool from siblings like create_rectangle or create_text, which could be confusing for the agent.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives, nor any prerequisites or context (e.g., whether a parent page is needed).

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