In a CRM context, releasing a phone number means it is unrecoverable and cannot be restored without administrative intervention. While not as severe as deleting customer records wholesale, the loss of a communication resource has material business impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'release_phone_number' with description 'Release/delete a phone number'. The verb 'delete' explicitly indicates irreversible data removal.

HOW TO CONTROL RELEASE_PHONE_NUMBER

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 release_phone_number:

policy.json

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

release_phone_number 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.
