Part of the OneSignal MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use send_message to create or modify resources in OneSignal. 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 send_message 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 OneSignal.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Send a push notification, email, or SMS via the OneSignal API. TIER 3 — HIGH IMPACT: confirmation is required before sending. Rate limited to 10 requests per minute. The `filters` array is limited to 200 entries; max 20,000 users per call. For push: set `contents`. For email: set `email_subject` + `email_body` (or use `template_id`). For SMS: set `contents` + `target_channel = "sms"`.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OneSignal MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for send_message. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the OneSignal MCP server.
send_message 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_message 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for send_message. 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_message is provided by the OneSignal MCP server (onesignal/onesignal). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
