WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use send_code_connect_mappings to create or modify resources in Figma. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON SEND_CODE_CONNECT_MAPPINGS

Without a policy, an AI agent could call send_code_connect_mappings repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Figma.

RECOMMENDED POLICY

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does the send_code_connect_mappings tool do?

Confirms the suggested Code Connect mappings. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Figma MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on send_code_connect_mappings?

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for send_code_connect_mappings. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Figma MCP server.

What risk level is send_code_connect_mappings?

send_code_connect_mappings is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit send_code_connect_mappings?

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the send_code_connect_mappings rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block send_code_connect_mappings completely?

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for send_code_connect_mappings. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides send_code_connect_mappings?

send_code_connect_mappings is provided by the Figma MCP server (figma/figma-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
