tagId | string | Yes | The tag ID to update |
locationId | string | Yes | The location ID |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why update_location_tag is rated Medium
This tool creates or modifies data reversibly by updating a location tag. It does not delete data (would be Destructive) or execute arbitrary code (would be Execute). The severity is medium because tag updates could affect contact visibility/organization in a CRM system, but the impact is limited in scope and reversible.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_location_tag' and description 'Update an existing location tag' indicate modification of existing data. The action is reversible (tags can be updated again or removed) rather than destructive.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs update_location_tag 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 update_location_tag, this is the rule to start with:
update_location_tag 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 update_location_tag call is checked against it from then on.
