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

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

  "params": {
    "name": "send_sms",
    "arguments": {}

## Why send_sms is rated Medium

This tool creates new data (outbound SMS messages) with reversible side effects (messages can be deleted or communication logs cleared in most systems). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. While it does affect external communication channels, the core operation is data creation/transmission rather than execution of unpredictable operations.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'send_sms' and description 'Send an SMS message to a contact in GoHighLevel' indicate the tool creates/transmits a new message artifact (SMS communication) that modifies contact communication history."

## Use case

AI agents use send_sms 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.
