What debug_config does on GoHighLevel MCP Server
AI agents call debug_config to retrieve information from GoHighLevel MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why debug_config is rated Low
This tool only reads and displays diagnostic information about the server state. It has no side effects, does not execute arbitrary code, and does not modify or delete data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker would only gain visibility into configuration details, which while sensitive, does not grant direct access to CRM operations or data modification. Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it is a 'Debug tool to show current MCP server configuration and auth status' — it retrieves and displays configuration and authentication metadata without modifying, executing, or deleting anything.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs debug_config safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GoHighLevel MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For debug_config, this is the rule to start with:
debug_config is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect GoHighLevel MCP Server, apply this rule, and every debug_config call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about debug_config
Debug tool to show current MCP server configuration and auth status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the GoHighLevel MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the GoHighLevel MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for debug_config: 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 GoHighLevel MCP Server. Nothing to install.
debug_config is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the debug_config 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 debug_config. 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.
debug_config is provided by the GoHighLevel MCP Server MCP server (basicmachines-co/open-ghl-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
