Update conversation properties (star, mark read, etc.)

How to control update_conversation ↓

AI agents use update_conversation 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 modifies conversation records reversibly by updating properties like read status and star flags. It does not delete data (which would be Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or involve financial transactions (Financial). It is a standard Write operation that changes conversation state in a CRM system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_conversation' and description 'Update conversation properties (star, mark read, etc.)' indicate modification of existing conversation metadata and state.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access update_conversation 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_conversation:

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

update_conversation 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.
