| clone_nodeC | Clone an existing node in Figma |
| resize_nodeC | Resize a node in Figma |
| delete_nodeC | Delete a node from Figma |
| delete_multiple_nodesB | Delete multiple nodes from Figma at once |
| export_node_as_imageC | Export a node as an image from Figma |
| set_text_contentA | Set the text content of an existing text node in Figma |
| get_stylesA | Get all styles from the current Figma document |
| get_local_componentsA | Get all local components from the Figma document |

| set_multiple_annotationsC | Set multiple annotations parallelly in a node |
| create_component_instanceB | Create an instance of a component in Figma |
| get_instance_overridesA | Get all override properties from a selected component instance. These overrides can be applied to other instances, which will swap them to match the source component. |
| set_instance_overridesA | Apply previously copied overrides to selected component instances. Target instances will be swapped to the source component and all copied override properties will be applied. |
| set_corner_radiusA | Set the corner radius of a node in Figma |
| scan_text_nodesC | Scan all text nodes in the selected Figma node |

Scored across 40 tools
Most tools have distinct purposes, but there is some overlap between 'get_node_info', 'get_nodes_info', and 'read_my_design' which all retrieve node details, potentially causing confusion. Additionally, 'set_multiple_annotations' and 'set_annotation' serve similar functions with minor scaling differences. Overall, the set is well-differentiated with only a few ambiguous pairs.
All tool names follow a consistent snake_case pattern with clear verb_noun structures (e.g., 'create_frame', 'delete_node', 'get_styles'). The naming is highly predictable and uniform across all 40 tools, making it easy for agents to understand and use them.
With 40 tools, this server feels overloaded for a Figma integration. Many tools could be consolidated (e.g., multiple 'set_' tools for styling or layout), leading to a bloated interface that may overwhelm agents. A more streamlined set of 15-25 tools would better suit the domain without sacrificing functionality.
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for Figma operations, including CRUD for nodes (create, get, update, delete), styling, layout management, annotations, exports, and prototyping. There are no obvious gaps; agents can perform full design workflows from creation to export and collaboration.
