HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/basicmachines-co-open-ghl-mcp/update-contact-task ## Facts - Tool: `update_contact_task` - Server: GoHighLevel MCP Server (`basicmachines-co/open-ghl-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/basicmachines-co-open-ghl-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/basicmachines-co/open-ghl-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "update_contact_task", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why update_contact_task is rated Medium This tool modifies (updates) task data within the GoHighLevel CRM system, which is reversible through subsequent updates. It does not delete data (which would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or involve financial transactions (Financial). The blast radius is medium because incorrect updates could corrupt task records or workflow state, but changes can be reverted through additional updates. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'update_contact_task' and description 'Update a task on a contact' indicate modification of existing task data without deletion or irreversible destruction." ## Use case AI agents use update_contact_task to create or update resources in GoHighLevel MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your GoHighLevel MCP Server environment. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**.
