apply_style_to_nodeApply a local style to a node.batch_execute_pipelineRun write steps in order. A step can use earlier results through $variables. With stop_on_error, a failure undoes created nodes and changed properties, but not deletes, group/ungroup, detach, reparent, or steps that target nodes by name.batch_rename_nodesRename nodes: set `name`, or find/replace (regex allowed), or prefix/suffix. `name` cannot mix with the others.boolean_operationCombine 2+ shapes (same parent): UNION, SUBTRACT (cut the rest from the first), INTERSECT, or EXCLUDE. Pipeline rollback cannot undo it.clone_nodeCopy a node, optionally to a new position or parent.combine_as_variantsCombine 2+ components (same parent) into a variant set. Add VARIANT properties with manage_component_properties.create_componentTurn a FRAME into a COMPONENT, in place.create_component_instanceCreate an instance of a local (componentId) or library (componentKey) component. A component set uses its default variant.create_connectorCreate a connector line. This tool operates only in a FigJam file.create_nodeCreate a shape. Args per `type`: FRAME: width, height, fillColor, auto layout args. RECTANGLE: width, height, fillColor, cornerRadius. ELLIPSE: width, height, fillColor, startAngle, endAngle, innerRadiusRatio. STAR: pointCount, outerRadius, innerRadius, fillColor, cornerRadius. POLYGON: pointCount, radius, fillColor, cornerRadius. LINE: length, rotation, strokeColor, strokeWeight. SECTION: width, height (no parent). All: x, y, name. The tool rejects other args. For text, use create_text.create_styleCreate a local style. Args per `type`: PAINT: color. TEXT: fontSize, fontFamily, fontStyle, textDecoration, lineHeightValue/Unit, letterSpacingValue/Unit. EFFECT: effectType, color, opacity, radius, offsetX, offsetY, spread. GRID: pattern, count, gutterSize, offset, alignment, sectionSize, color, opacity. The tool returns the style ID. Apply the style with apply_style_to_node.create_textCreate a text node (loads the font). To edit text, use set_text.- +48 more on the listing page
