How to control create-object-record ↓

What create-object-record does on GoHighLevel MCP Server

AI agents use create-object-record 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.

Why create-object-record needs a policy

This tool creates new records in the GoHighLevel system for both standard business objects and custom objects. Creating records is a reversible write operation—records can be modified or deleted afterward. While this has potential for misuse (e.g., creating fraudulent business records, spam contact records, or malicious workflow triggers), the impact is limited compared to destructive or financial operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create-object-record' and description explicitly states 'Create a Custom Object Record' for 'business and custom objects'. The action is to create/instantiate new data records.

How to control create-object-record

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 create-object-record:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create-object-record": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create-object-record_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create-object-record 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.
