Even within Apple's platforms, there's pretty limited support for automation -- you can say "Siri find my keys" but there's no App Intents / Shortcuts support for automating anything within Find My (AFAIK), which is a bit disappointing.

I suspect they might be a bit wary of the privacy implications of giving other apps/Shortcuts access to Findmy data

What about Apple Automator and Applescript?

Find My has no any exposed Applescript commands. You'd next need to try (I think, been >a decade) Accessibility Inspector to find the names of the interface so you can tell Applescript what to click on. On some apps, even this doesn't work.

I also suspect Find My is a Catalyst-ported iPadOS app, which tend to be awful/useless for scripting.
