## Why get_messages is rated Low

This tool retrieves existing messages from a conversation without creating, modifying, or deleting data. It is a straightforward read operation that queries conversation data. The severity is low as it only exposes information already associated with authorized conversations, and the blast radius of misuse is limited to unauthorized information disclosure rather than system-wide damage or irreversible changes.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_messages' and description 'Get messages from a conversation' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of data."

## Use case

AI agents call get_messages 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

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

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_messages": {}
  }
}
```
