Update a campaign

How to control update_campaign ↓

AI agents use update_campaign 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.

Medium Risk

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by updating campaign properties. It does not delete or destroy data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), move money (Financial), or merely read data (Read). Update operations are Write-category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_campaign' and description 'Update a campaign' indicate modification of existing campaign data. The server context shows this is part of a CRM system managing contacts, sales opportunities, and automated messaging.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access update_campaign 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 update_campaign:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "update_campaign": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "update_campaign_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

update_campaign 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.

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