Put this script somewhere on your machine. I like to put my custom scripts in /opt/scripts/. Then

sudo chmod a+x /opt/scripts/limits.sh
sudo ln -s /opt/scripts/limits.sh /usr/bin/limits

Then

sudo limits
inv mongo -d

Other useful commands for debugging:

ulimit -a # Display ulimit settings for the current user
launchctl limit # Display the limit settings for the system
