WHAT IT DOES

What ghl_create_relation does on Ghl

AI agents use ghl_create_relation 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.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`locationId`	string	—	GoHighLevel location ID (will use default if not provided)
`associationId`	string	Yes	The ID of the association to use for this relation
`firstRecordId`	string	Yes	ID of the first record (e.g., contact ID if contact is first object in association)
`secondRecordId`	string	Yes	ID of the second record (e.g., custom object record ID if custom object is second object)

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why ghl_create_relation is rated Medium

Creating relations between entities modifies data structure by establishing new links, which is reversible (relations can be deleted). This is a Write operation rather than Read (retrieves data with no side effects) or Execute (runs arbitrary code).

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' and description states 'Create a relation between two entities' and 'Links specific records together.' This is a create/write operation that establishes new associations between existing records.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

ghl_create_relation Rate-limited

ghl_create_relation 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 ghl_create_relation call is checked against it from then on.
