What get-message does on GoHighLevel MCP Server
AI agents call get-message to retrieve information from GoHighLevel MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get-message is rated Low
This tool retrieves a single message by its identifier. It performs no side effects, creates no data, executes no code, and has no destructive or financial impact. It is a straightforward read operation on message data, posing minimal security risk even if an AI agent invokes it with arbitrary message IDs.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get-message' and description 'Get message by message id' indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing data without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get-message safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GoHighLevel MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get-message, this is the rule to start with:
get-message is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect GoHighLevel MCP Server, apply this rule, and every get-message call is checked against it from then on.
