## Scores

| Criterion | Score | Evidence |
|-----------|-------|----------|
| Token Efficiency | 6/10 | Figma's REST API supports field selection and pagination, but responses can be verbose for complex design documents; no explicit batching or compression options are evident from public documentation. |
| Programmatic Access | 8/10 | Figma offers a mature REST API, official Node SDK, multiple community MCP servers (figma-mcp-server, figma-developer-mcp), a CLI tool, and plugin system, providing multiple programmatic access vectors for agents. |
| Autonomous Auth | 7/10 | Figma supports personal access tokens and OAuth, allowing autonomous agent authentication via API keys without requiring user interaction, though token scoping appears limited compared to enterprise-grade platforms. |
| Speed & Throughput | 6/10 | No response time data available; Figma's API is cloud-based with typical latency, but large design file operations can be slow; rate limiting exists but specifics are not detailed in the signals. |
| Discoverability | 7/10 | Figma has comprehensive developer documentation and official REST API specs (@figma/rest-api-spec), but no OpenAPI specification found; structured data is present on homepage but formal spec file is missing. |
| Reliability | 7/10 | Figma maintains consistent API versioning and predictable response schemas documented via TypeScript definitions; idempotency support for mutations and clear error handling are standard, though no explicit status page signal was detected. |
| Safety | 6/10 | Figma provides scoped personal access tokens and a sandbox/test environment via the plugin system, but lacks explicit dry-run modes or undo capabilities for API-based mutations; design changes are permanent once committed. |
| Reactivity | 4/10 | No webhooks, streaming, or SSE support detected in signals; agents must rely on polling for real-time updates, making reactive workflows inefficient for collaborative design scenarios. |

## Biggest Friction

The absence of webhooks and real-time APIs forces agents to implement inefficient polling-based monitoring, and lack of an official OpenAPI spec creates discovery friction for new integrations.
