Create a new business for a location

How to control create_business ↓

AI agents use create_business 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.

Medium Risk

This tool creates a new business entity in the GoHighLevel CRM system. While it modifies system state by adding data, it does not irreversibly delete data, move money, or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_business' and description 'Create a new business for a location' indicate data creation. The action is reversible (businesses can typically be deleted or archived in CRM systems), making it Write rather than Destructive.

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

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 create_business:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_business": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_business_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_business stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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