Get list of files and folders from the media library with filtering and search capabilities
AI agents call get_media_files to retrieve information from GoHighLevel MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries existing media files and folder structures with filtering and search options. It performs no mutations, deletions, executions, or financial operations. The 'get' verb and 'list' operation pattern confirm it is a read-only data retrieval function with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_media_files' and description 'Get list of files and folders from the media library with filtering and search capabilities' indicate retrieval of data without modification or side effects.

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 get_media_files:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_media_files": {}
}
}get_media_files is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_media_files rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_media_files. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_media_files is provided by the GoHighLevel MCP Server MCP server (mastanley13/gohighlevel-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
