Update relations for a top-level GHL note.

How to control update_note_relations ↓

AI agents use update_note_relations 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 note relations in the CRM. It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. While it modifies CRM records, the changes are reversible through subsequent updates.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_note_relations' and description 'Update relations for a top-level GHL note' indicate modification of existing data (note relations) within the GHL CRM system.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access update_note_relations 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_note_relations:

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

update_note_relations 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.
