What search-users does on GoHighLevel MCP Server
AI agents call search-users 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 search-users is rated Low
This tool retrieves user data from the GoHighLevel system without modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The search function is a standard read operation that queries existing users. While it may expose user information, the blast radius is limited to information disclosure rather than system compromise, data loss, or unauthorized actions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search-users' and description 'Search Users' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or destructive capabilities. Searching is a non-destructive read operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs search-users 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 search-users, this is the rule to start with:
search-users 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 search-users call is checked against it from then on.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search-users rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
