What create-redirect does on GoHighLevel MCP Server

AI agents use create-redirect 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-redirect needs a policy

Creating a redirect is a Write operation—it creates or modifies data reversibly. It does not delete data (Destructive), execute arbitrary code (Execute), or move money (Financial). Severity is medium because misconfigured redirects could redirect users to phishing sites or cause business disruption, but the effect is reversible. Confidence is reduced due to the incomplete description.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create-redirect' indicates creation of a redirect, which modifies routing/configuration data. The description is incomplete ('The' only), but the name and server context (GoHighLevel business management platform) suggest this creates a new redirect…

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create-redirect gives an agent:

How to control create-redirect

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-redirect:

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

create-redirect 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.
