Update an existing blocked time slot

How to control update_block_slot ↓

AI agents use update_block_slot 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.

Medium Risk

The tool updates (modifies) an existing resource reversibly. This is a Write operation—changes to blocked time slots can be edited again or restored. The moderate severity reflects that misuse could disrupt scheduling/calendar operations for users, but the impact is confined to time-slot configuration and doesn't involve financial transactions, code execution, or irreversible deletions.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'update_block_slot' and description states 'Update an existing blocked time slot', indicating modification of calendar/scheduling data rather than deletion or creation.

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

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

update_block_slot 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.

  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.
