AI agents use create_contact_note 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.
This tool creates new data (a contact note) in the CRM system, which is a Write operation. The severity is low because notes are informational metadata with minimal business impact if created erroneously—they don't directly affect financial transactions, critical system state, or irreplaceable data. An AI agent misusing this tool might create spurious or sensitive notes, but these can be easily reviewed and removed.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_contact_note' and description 'Create a new note for a contact' indicate data creation without deletion or irreversible modification. Notes are typically reversible (can be edited or deleted later).

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and GoHighLevel MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_contact_note:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_contact_note": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_contact_note_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_contact_note 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.
