What duplicate_shortcut does on AirMCP
AI agents invoke duplicate_shortcut to trigger actions in AirMCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why duplicate_shortcut is rated High
This tool exports and re-imports a Siri Shortcut, which involves file system operations and importing executable automation scripts. The duplicated shortcut is a runnable automation, so creating copies of it falls under Execute. It is not purely a write operation because Siri Shortcuts are executable artifacts, and duplicating them could amplify the blast radius of any malicious or unintended shortcut.
From the tool's definition Duplicate an existing Siri Shortcut. Exports the shortcut to a temporary file and re-imports it with a new name.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs duplicate_shortcut safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AirMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For duplicate_shortcut, this is the rule to start with:
duplicate_shortcut stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AirMCP, apply this rule, and every duplicate_shortcut call is checked against it from then on.
