## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "upload_media_file",
    "arguments": {}

## Why upload_media_file is rated Medium

This tool creates new media assets in the system. While uploads are reversible (files can be deleted), the action itself modifies system state by adding data to the media library. This is a Write operation rather than Read (which would only retrieve existing media) or Destructive (which would permanently remove data).

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'upload_media_file' and description 'Upload a file to the media library or add a hosted file URL' indicate file creation/storage operations. The 25MB limit is noted but does not change the classification."

## Use case

AI agents use upload_media_file 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
