  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why upsert_contact is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies contact records in a CRM system, which is a reversible Write operation rather than Destructive. While it operates on potentially sensitive customer data, the action itself is not irreversible. The 'smart merge' capability could affect data integrity if duplicate detection fails, but the operation remains categorically a Write action.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs 'Create or update contact' which modifies data reversibly. The 'upsert' operation (insert or update) is a standard Write operation that can be undone by subsequent edits or deletes."

## Use case

AI agents use upsert_contact 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.
