Delete a smart list

How to control delete_smart_list ↓

AI agents call delete_smart_list to permanently remove resources in GoHighLevel MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

This tool permanently removes a smart list from the GoHighLevel CRM system. Smart lists are likely saved query configurations or contact groupings used for segmentation, campaign targeting, or reporting. Deletion cannot be undone and would disrupt any workflows, automations, or campaigns that depend on that smart list.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_smart_list' with description 'Delete a smart list'. The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_smart_list 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_smart_list:

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

delete_smart_list 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.
