## Why get_recent_messages is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries message data for monitoring purposes. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The word 'Get' and the monitoring context indicate a read-only information retrieval function. Severity is low because accessing message history poses minimal risk compared to tools that could modify contacts, trigger workflows, or delete data.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'get_recent_messages' and description states it 'Get recent messages across all conversations for monitoring' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call get_recent_messages 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": {
    "get_recent_messages": {}
  }
}
```
