MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Siri Shortcuts tools

Execute · High run_shortcut This tool triggers execution of pre-defined shortcut workflows whose effects depend entirely on what each shortcut contains. Execute · Medium open_shortcut Opening a shortcut in the Shortcuts app is an external operation that triggers the macOS/iOS Shortcuts application.

2 of Siri Shortcuts's 3 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Siri Shortcuts

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Siri Shortcuts, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Cap read operations

{
  "list_shortcuts": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "list_shortcuts_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register Siri Shortcuts — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on Siri Shortcuts? +

Register the Siri Shortcuts MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly.
