simulator_send_push

Send a push notification to an app. Provide the full APNs payload JSON (e.g., {"aps": {"alert": "Hello"}}).

Accepts raw HTML/template content (payload)

Part of the Preflight Ios MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

preflight-ios-mcp Write Risk 2/5

AI agents use simulator_send_push to create or modify resources in Preflight Ios. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call simulator_send_push repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Preflight Ios.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the simulator_send_push tool do? +

Send a push notification to an app. Provide the full APNs payload JSON (e.g., {"aps": {"alert": "Hello"}}).. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Preflight Ios MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on simulator_send_push? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for simulator_send_push. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Preflight Ios MCP server.

What risk level is simulator_send_push? +

simulator_send_push is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit simulator_send_push? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the simulator_send_push rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block simulator_send_push completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for simulator_send_push. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides simulator_send_push? +

simulator_send_push is provided by the Preflight Ios MCP server (preflight-ios-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
