THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why delete_opportunity needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes opportunities, which are core sales pipeline records in a CRM. Unlike Write operations (create/update) that are reversible, deletion cannot be undone. The blast radius is high because an AI agent could accidentally or maliciously destroy sales records that represent revenue pipeline, customer commitments, or deal history.

From the tool's definition delete_opportunity — Delete an opportunity from GoHighLevel. The verb 'delete' combined with removal of an opportunity (a business-critical sales record) indicates irreversible data destruction.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_opportunity gives an agent:

POLICY

How to control delete_opportunity

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and GoHighLevel MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_opportunity:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_opportunity"
  ]
}

delete_opportunity disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register GoHighLevel MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
