Why update-task-completed needs a policy

This tool modifies existing task records by updating their completion status, which is a write operation. It is not destructive since the original data remains and the change is reversible. Given the business context (task management in a CRM platform), incorrect completion status updates could impact workflows and team coordination, warranting medium severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update-task-completed' indicates modification of task status. The verb 'update' combined with 'completed' shows this creates or modifies data reversibly—a task's completion status can be changed back if needed.

How to control update-task-completed

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-task-completed:

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

update-task-completed 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.
