ghl_delete_custom_field_folder

Delete a custom field folder. This will also affect any fields within the folder.

How to control ghl_delete_custom_field_folder ↓

AI agents call ghl_delete_custom_field_folder to permanently remove resources in GoHighLevel MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Critical Risk

The tool irreversibly deletes data (custom field folder and all contained fields) with no undo capability. Deletion operations that cannot be reversed fall into the Destructive category, which is more severe than Write. The cascading nature of the deletion (affecting child fields) increases the blast radius. High severity because bulk data loss could disrupt business operations if invoked on the wrong folder.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Delete a custom field folder. This will also affect any fields within the folder.' This is an irreversible deletion operation that cascades to nested data (fields within the folder).

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ghl_delete_custom_field_folder 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 ghl_delete_custom_field_folder:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "ghl_delete_custom_field_folder"
  ]
}

ghl_delete_custom_field_folder disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  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.
