Send a PandaDoc document to recipients for viewing/signing. The document must be in
AI agents use send_document 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 creates or modifies data by sending a document to recipients—an action that results in external parties receiving and potentially signing a document. This is a Write operation because it creates a new state (document sent, signature request initiated) but is reversible in principle.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'send_document' combined with description 'Send a PandaDoc document to recipients for viewing/signing' indicates it modifies state by dispatching a document to external parties, creating a record of that action.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access send_document 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 send_document:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"send_document": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "send_document_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}send_document 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.

Send a PandaDoc document to recipients for viewing/signing. The document must be in. 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 send_document: 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.
send_document 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 send_document 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 send_document. 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.
send_document 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.
