Why update-invoice needs a policy

This tool modifies invoice data, which falls under the Write category (creates or modifies data reversibly). Severity is high because invoices are critical financial documents; unauthorized updates could affect billing accuracy, payment records, and financial reporting. High confidence due to explicit naming and clear financial context within GoHighLevel's business management platform.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update-invoice' and description 'API to update invoice by invoice id' indicate modification of existing invoice data. The action is reversible (updates, not deletion) but affects financial records.

How to control update-invoice

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 update-invoice:

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

update-invoice 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.
