Medium Risk

This tool creates new shipping zone configuration data, which is reversible (zones can be deleted or updated). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The blast radius is medium because misconfigured shipping zones could disrupt e-commerce operations, but the effect is limited to logistics configuration rather than customer data loss or financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ghl_create_shipping_zone' and description 'Create a new shipping zone with specific countries and states' indicate data creation/modification of e-commerce configuration settings.

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 ghl_create_shipping_zone:

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

ghl_create_shipping_zone 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.
