ghl_verify_email_domain

THE RISK

High Risk

The tool triggers an active DNS verification operation against an external domain, making it an Execute action. It does not modify data, delete anything, or involve finances. The blast radius is low since it only performs a read-like check externally, but it does trigger an external operation whose results depend on DNS state at call time.

From the tool's definition 'Trigger DNS verification check' — the tool actively initiates an external DNS lookup/verification process rather than simply reading cached data

HOW TO CONTROL GHL_VERIFY_EMAIL_DOMAIN

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_verify_email_domain:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ghl_verify_email_domain": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ghl_verify_email_domain_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

ghl_verify_email_domain stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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.
