## Why ghl_create_custom_field is rated Medium

This tool creates new custom fields in a CRM system, which is a Write operation that modifies the schema/structure of custom objects or company records. While the action itself is technically reversible (fields can be deleted), creating new fields alters the data model and could cause downstream issues if an agent creates fields without proper validation or naming conventions.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'create' and description 'Create a new custom field' indicate irreversible data structure modification to the CRM system."

## Use case

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