## Why send_sms is rated Medium

This tool creates new data (outbound SMS messages) and has external side effects (actually sends SMS to phone numbers). It is not destructive (messages can be retracted or logs deleted), not financial (no money moves), and not mere reading. The high severity reflects that an agent could spam contacts, damage reputation, or incur SMS costs if misused at scale or to wrong numbers.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'send_sms' and description 'Send an SMS message to a contact in GoHighLevel' indicate the tool creates/sends a message, which is a write operation that modifies state (adds a message record and triggers external communication)."

## Use case

AI agents use send_sms 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.
