## Why generate_estimate_number is rated Medium

This tool creates and allocates new data (an estimate number) that persists in the GoHighLevel system. While not destructive and lacking financial impact by itself, it writes/creates a new record.

From the tool's own definition: "'Generate a unique estimate number' – creates a new unique identifier/record in the system, modifying state by allocating a new estimate number."

## Use case

AI agents use generate_estimate_number to create or update resources in Ghl, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ghl environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Ghl:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_estimate_number": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate_estimate_number_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
