AI agents invoke start_social_oauth to trigger actions in Ghl. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`page`	string	—	Page context

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

start_social_oauth Rate-limited

start_social_oauth stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
