Add a prospect to a sequence. Example: {
AI agents use outreach_add_prospect_to_sequence to create or update resources in Apple Shortcuts — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Apple Shortcuts environment.
This tool writes/creates data by adding a prospect to a sales sequence. It modifies prospect state but does not delete, execute arbitrary code, or move money. The blast radius is medium: incorrect prospect targeting could trigger unwanted outreach campaigns, but the action is reversible (prospect can be removed from sequence).
From the tool's definition Tool name indicates 'add_prospect_to_sequence' — creates a new association between a prospect and a sequence in Outreach, modifying prospect records reversibly.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access outreach_add_prospect_to_sequence gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Apple Shortcuts, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for outreach_add_prospect_to_sequence:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"outreach_add_prospect_to_sequence": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "outreach_add_prospect_to_sequence_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}outreach_add_prospect_to_sequence stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add a prospect to a sequence. Example: {. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Apple Shortcuts MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Apple Shortcuts MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for outreach_add_prospect_to_sequence: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Apple Shortcuts. Nothing to install.
outreach_add_prospect_to_sequence is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the outreach_add_prospect_to_sequence rule in your PolicyLayer 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for outreach_add_prospect_to_sequence. 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.
outreach_add_prospect_to_sequence is provided by the Apple Shortcuts MCP server (@mindstone/mcp-server-apple-shortcuts). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Apple Shortcuts, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
