THE RISK

Low Risk

Why fetch-media-content needs a policy

This tool performs a query/fetch operation to list media library contents. It retrieves information without side effects, making it a Read category tool. The blast radius is low since it only exposes existing media inventory without the ability to modify, delete, or execute operations. No authentication-specific concerns beyond standard access control.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Fetches list of files and folders from the media library' - a retrieval operation with no data modification or deletion capability.

POLICY

How to control fetch-media-content

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 fetch-media-content:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "fetch-media-content": {}
  }
}

fetch-media-content is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register GoHighLevel MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
