Why pause-location-deprecated needs a policy

Pausing a sub-account is an operational action that affects the entire account's functionality (disabling services, workflows, communications, etc.) for that location. It's not a simple data read or write — it triggers a state change on an external system.

From the tool's definition 'Pause Sub account for given locationId' — pauses an account, which is an external operational state change

POLICY

How to control pause-location-deprecated

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 pause-location-deprecated:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pause-location-deprecated": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "pause-location-deprecated_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

pause-location-deprecated stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. 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.
