Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ File key required for all API calls — extract from Figma URL
- ⚠ Figma file data can be very large for complex designs — agents should query specific nodes
- ⚠ Node IDs change when designs are restructured — don't hardcode
- ⚠ Component metadata includes all variants — filter to relevant variant
- ⚠ Typography and color tokens need design system context for meaningful extraction
- ⚠ Figma webhooks not supported in this MCP — polling required for changes
