`body`	string	—	Task description
`title`	string	Yes	Task title
`dueDate`	string	Yes	Due date (ISO format)
`completed`	boolean	—	Task completion status
`contactId`	string	Yes	Contact ID
`assignedTo`	string	—	User ID to assign task to

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why create_contact_task is rated Medium

Creating a task is a reversible write operation that modifies the contact's data by adding a new task record. This is not destructive (tasks can be deleted), not financial, not code execution, and not a simple read. The medium severity reflects that task creation could spam or clutter a contact's record if misused by an agent, but the impact is contained and reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a new task for a contact', which is a create operation that adds new data to the system.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_contact_task safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ghl, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_contact_task, this is the rule to start with:

create_contact_task Rate-limited

create_contact_task 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.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ghl, apply this rule, and every create_contact_task call is checked against it from then on.
