AI agents use create_sms_template 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.
This tool creates a new SMS template, which is a reversible write operation. It adds data to the system without deleting, executing arbitrary code, or moving money. The medium severity reflects that misuse could result in creation of unwanted communications templates, potential spam, or operational disruption, but the action can be undone by deletion.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_sms_template' and description 'Create a new SMS template' indicate creation of a new data object in the GoHighLevel CRM system.

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_sms_template:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_sms_template": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_sms_template_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_sms_template 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.
