Configure call forwarding rules for a phone number. Set up sequential or simultaneous ringing, time-based rules, and voicemail fallback.
AI agents use ghl_configure_call_forwarding 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 modifies phone system configuration settings (call forwarding rules, ringing patterns, voicemail settings) but does not delete data or execute arbitrary code. The changes are reversible—call forwarding rules can be reconfigured or disabled. While misconfiguration could disrupt communications (medium severity), the operation is fundamentally a Write action creating/modifying reversible system state.
From the tool's definition The tool description states it can 'Configure call forwarding rules' and 'Set up sequential or simultaneous ringing, time-based rules, and voicemail fallback.' These are configuration operations that create or modify system settings reversibly.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ghl_configure_call_forwarding 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 ghl_configure_call_forwarding:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"ghl_configure_call_forwarding": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "ghl_configure_call_forwarding_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}ghl_configure_call_forwarding 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.

Configure call forwarding rules for a phone number. Set up sequential or simultaneous ringing, time-based rules, and voicemail fallback. 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.
Register the GoHighLevel MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ghl_configure_call_forwarding: 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.
ghl_configure_call_forwarding is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ghl_configure_call_forwarding 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ghl_configure_call_forwarding. 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.
ghl_configure_call_forwarding 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.
