RISK

Why create_location is rated Medium

This tool creates new entities (sub-accounts/locations) within GoHighLevel, which is a reversible write operation. While it has significant blast radius (affects account structure and potentially billing/management hierarchy), it is not destructive (can be undone by deleting the location), not financial (does not directly move money), and not execute (does not run arbitrary code).

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Create a new sub-account/location in GoHighLevel', which is a creation operation that modifies the account structure and is reversible through deletion.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_location 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_location, this is the rule to start with:

create_location Rate-limited

create_location 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.

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_location": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_location_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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

How do I block create_location completely? +
