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

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

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search_users",
    "arguments": {}

```

## Why search_users is rated Low

This tool retrieves user information without altering, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational in nature. The blast radius is minimal as it only exposes existing user data that the authenticated account likely already has access to within the CRM system.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Search users across an agency' - a query/search operation with no side effects. The verb 'search' and lack of any mention of modification, deletion, or execution confirms this is a read operation."

## Use case

AI agents call search_users 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": {
    "search_users": {}
  }
}
```
