Create a new course

How to control create_course ↓

AI agents use create_course 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 course resource in the GoHighLevel system. Creating data is a Write operation — reversible and non-destructive. Severity is medium because misconfiguration could clutter the CRM with unwanted courses or cause operational disruption, but the action can be undone by deleting the created course.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_course' and description states 'Create a new course' — this creates new data within the CRM system.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_course 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_course:

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

create_course 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.
