Why add-an-inbound-message needs a policy

This tool creates new records (inbound messages) in the GoHighLevel system, which is a reversible Write operation. While not destructive, the ability to inject messages into communication records could be misused by an AI agent to spam, impersonate, or falsely document communications (severity: medium).

From the tool's definition Tool adds a new inbound message by posting required fields to the API—a create operation that modifies data. The description states 'add a new inbound message,' which is a data creation action.

How to control add-an-inbound-message

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 add-an-inbound-message:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add-an-inbound-message": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add-an-inbound-message_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

add-an-inbound-message 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.
