Get detailed information about the current Figma selection, including all node attributes and hierarchy, to understand design context for coding.

Instructions

Get detailed information about the current selection in Figma, including all node details

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations present, the description carries the full burden. It explicitly indicates a read operation ('Get') and the scope ('current selection'), but does not elaborate on what 'all node details' encompasses, potential failure modes (e.g., empty selection), or response size/limitations.

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 sentence of 14 words, front-loaded with the action and scope, with no filler or redundancy. It is concise and well-structured.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given no output schema and no parameters, the description should clarify what 'detailed information' includes. Saying 'all node details' is broad but vague; the agent cannot know the exact fields or structure. This is a moderate gap for a tool that likely returns a complex selection object.

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?

The tool has zero parameters and an empty input schema. The description correctly avoids parameter details. Per the baseline rule for 0 params, a score of 4 is appropriate.

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 action ('Get'), the resource ('detailed information about the current selection in Figma'), and the scope ('including all node details'). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like get_selection or get_node_info, which focus on selection IDs or specific node queries.

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 such as get_selection or get_node_info. The description does not mention exclusions, preferred contexts, or trade-offs.

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