create_user

Create a new user/team member for a location

How to control create_user ↓

AI agents use create_user 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 new user accounts within the GoHighLevel CRM system, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data (would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (would be Execute), or move money (would be Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_user' and description 'Create a new user/team member for a location' explicitly indicate creation of a new account/resource. This is a write operation that adds data to the system.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_user 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_user:

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

create_user 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.

What does the create_user tool do? +

Create a new user/team member for a location. It is categorised as a Write tool in the GoHighLevel MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on create_user? +

Register the GoHighLevel MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_user: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches GoHighLevel MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_user? +

create_user is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_user? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_user rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block create_user completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_user. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides create_user? +

create_user is provided by the GoHighLevel MCP Server MCP server (busybee3333/go-high-level-mcp-2026-complete). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every GoHighLevel MCP Server tool call.
