WHAT IT DOES

What switch_subaccount does on GoHighLevel MCP Server

AI agents use switch_subaccount 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.

RISK

Why switch_subaccount is rated Medium

This tool modifies the active session/context by switching which sub-account is used for all subsequent operations. While it doesn't directly delete or create data, it changes the operational scope in a persistent way that affects all future tool calls.

From the tool's definition Switch the active GHL sub-account. All subsequent tool calls will use this account until switched again.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs switch_subaccount safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GoHighLevel MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For switch_subaccount, this is the rule to start with:

switch_subaccount Rate-limited

switch_subaccount 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.
