Critical Risk

This tool permanently removes an email template, which is an irreversible destructive action. Once deleted, the template cannot be recovered through normal means. While not as critical as deleting all contacts or financial data, destroying a business asset (reusable email template) that may be in active use constitutes a high-severity destructive operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_email_template' and description states 'Delete an email template from GoHighLevel.' The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_email_template 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 delete_email_template:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_email_template"
  ]
}

delete_email_template disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  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.
