GoHighLevel MCP Server and API by Cotlet

Add action in GoHighLevel

gohighlevel_add_action
Read-onlyIdempotent

Add action in the user's own GoHighLevel account from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent. Returns how to do it in GoHighLevel step by step (screens, buttons, fields) and opens nothing by itself; then do it with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's GoHighLevel Cloud Browser. GoHighLevel's official API: Yes.

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, destructiveHint=false and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds genuinely useful context beyond that: the return value is procedural guidance with screens/buttons/fields, and the tool performs no side effects. It does not describe output size or format in any detail, but with annotations carrying the safety burden this is solid.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The core message is front-loaded and the length is reasonable, but the single run-on sentence chains three ideas with semicolons and a parenthetical. The trailing fragment 'GoHighLevel's official API: Yes.' is ambiguous and does not clearly earn its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a zero-parameter, no-output-schema guidance tool, the description covers what it returns, that it is side-effect free, and what to do next with the browser tools. The one real gap is that it never explains how the agent specifies which action to add, given there is no input at all.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes zero parameters, so the baseline of 4 applies. The description adds nothing about parameters, but there is nothing to explain. A brief note on why no input is required (e.g., the guide is generic) would have made this a 5.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb and resource ('Add action in GoHighLevel') and immediately clarifies the deliverable is step-by-step instructions (screens, buttons, fields) rather than a performed action. This distinguishes it from the cotlet_browser_* siblings that actually execute the clicks. It loses a point because 'action' is never defined and the zero-parameter design leaves unclear how the specific action is scoped.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives explicit routing: this tool 'opens nothing by itself', and the actual work should be done 'with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the user's GoHighLevel Cloud Browser.' That is a clear two-step workflow with a named alternative. It does not address when to prefer gohighlevel_add_trigger or the workflow-creation siblings, so the sibling boundary is only partially drawn.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
