## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",

    "name": "delete_contact",

## Why delete_contact is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes a contact record from the CRM system. Contact deletion cannot be undone and results in loss of all associated data (conversation history, tasks, opportunities, notes). This is a destructive operation with significant business impact if triggered erroneously by an AI agent, particularly in a multi-contact scenario.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'delete_contact' and description states 'Delete a contact from GoHighLevel'. The verb 'delete' and 'delete_contact' function name explicitly indicate irreversible removal of data."

## Use case

AI agents call delete_contact to permanently remove resources in GoHighLevel MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches GoHighLevel MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_contact"
  ]
}
```
