ghl_delete_workflow

THE RISK

Critical Risk

This tool irreversibly deletes data (a workflow) and cannot be undone, which is the defining characteristic of the Destructive category. While the blast radius depends on workflow complexity and usage, deletion of automation workflows in a CRM system could disrupt business operations, customer communications, and sales processes, justifying 'high' severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'delete_workflow' and description states 'Permanently delete a workflow by ID. This cannot be undone.' The permanent and irreversible nature directly satisfies the Destructive category definition.

HOW TO CONTROL GHL_DELETE_WORKFLOW

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_delete_workflow:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "ghl_delete_workflow"
  ]
}

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

Create a free account and register GoHighLevel MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
