## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "ghl_trigger_workflow",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why ghl_trigger_workflow is rated High

This tool triggers external automated operations (workflows) rather than merely reading or writing static data. The blast radius is high because a workflow can perform multiple side effects (send messages, create appointments, process payments, modify contact state) in sequence, and the outcome depends entirely on the workflow configuration and contact context.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'Manually trigger a workflow for a specific contact' — this executes an automated business process (workflow) whose effects depend on the workflow's configured actions and the contact's data."

## Use case

AI agents invoke ghl_trigger_workflow to trigger actions in GoHighLevel MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
