Create a new invoice

How to control create_invoice ↓

AI agents use create_invoice 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.

Medium Risk

This tool creates invoices, which are write operations that generate new financial records. While invoices themselves don't move money directly, they establish financial obligations and are critical business documents. This is Write rather than Financial because the tool creates the invoice document itself rather than processing payments or transferring funds.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_invoice' and description 'Create a new invoice' indicate creation of financial documents that record transactions and obligations.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_invoice gives an agent:

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_invoice:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_invoice": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_invoice_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_invoice 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.

  1. Create a free account and register GoHighLevel MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
