What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
const status = await writeBytes(bytes, path.join(outputDir, file), overwrite);
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
FIGMA_BRIDGE_PORT (Local port the Figma plugin connects to; choose the same port in the plugin panel), FIGMA_BRIDGE_OUTPUT_ROOTS (Extra folders export tools may write to (; on Windows, : elsewhere). Default: working directory only), FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN (Optional Figma personal access token; enables REST tools (comments, versions, team files)), FIGMA_BRIDGE_ALLOW_SCRIPTS (Allow the run_script tool to execute Plugin API code in the open file).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
