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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "create_api_key",
    "arguments": {}

## Why create_api_key is rated Medium

Creating an API key is a reversible write operation that generates a new credential. While not destructive (the key can be revoked/deleted), it has high severity because an API key grants programmatic access to the CRM system. An AI agent misusing this could create keys for unauthorized parties, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive contact, sales, and messaging data across the platform.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool creates a new API key, which is a write operation that generates and stores a new authentication credential. The description explicitly states 'Create a new API key' and the action is explicitly write-based (create)."

## Use case

AI agents use create_api_key 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)
