What send_location does on Automagik Tools

AI agents use send_location to create or update resources in Automagik Tools — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Automagik Tools environment.

Why send_location needs a policy

Based on the name alone, 'send_location' likely transmits or posts a geographic location to an external service or contact (e.g., via WhatsApp, given sibling tools like 'check_is_whatsapp'). Sending data to an external party is a Write/outbound operation. Severity is medium as it could expose location data. Confidence is low due to the empty description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'send_location' — description is empty and uninformative.

How to control send_location

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Automagik Tools, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for send_location:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "send_location": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "send_location_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

send_location 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Automagik Tools — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
