This tool creates and stores data (files) in the form submission system, which is a reversible write operation. While file uploads could theoretically be exploited for malware distribution or data exfiltration, the primary action is data creation within a CRM context.

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 upload_form_custom_files:

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

upload_form_custom_files 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.
