start_social_oauth

THE RISK

High Risk

This tool executes an OAuth authentication workflow, which is an external operation whose effects depend on which social media platform is targeted and user intent. While not destructive or financial, initiating OAuth processes can grant permissions to access social accounts, post content, or retrieve user data—actions that are contingent on the specific parameters passed and represent meaningful side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'start_social_oauth' and description 'Start OAuth process for social media platform' indicate initiation of an external authentication flow that triggers interaction with third-party services.

HOW TO CONTROL START_SOCIAL_OAUTH

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 start_social_oauth:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "start_social_oauth": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "start_social_oauth_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

start_social_oauth stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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