AI agents use create_custom_menu 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.
Creating a custom menu link is a Write operation as it creates new configuration data within the CRM system. The action is reversible (the menu can be deleted or modified). The severity is medium because while it affects company configuration, it does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'create' and description states 'Create a new custom menu link for a company'. This is a reversible data creation operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_custom_menu 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_custom_menu:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_custom_menu": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_custom_menu_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_custom_menu 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.
