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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search_contacts",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why search_contacts is rated Low

This tool retrieves contact data based on filter criteria. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it only reads and returns results. The presence of sibling tools like 'add_contact_followers', 'add_contact_tags', and 'bulk_delete_social_posts' (which are Write/Destructive) further confirms this is a read-only query tool.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'search_contacts' and description 'Search for contacts with advanced filtering options' indicate a query/retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call search_contacts to retrieve information from GoHighLevel MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches GoHighLevel MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_contacts": {}
  }
}
```
