GoHighLevel MCP Server and API by Cotlet

Create workflow in GoHighLevel

gohighlevel_create_workflow
Read-onlyIdempotent

Create workflow 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.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false, and the description is consistent with them because it explicitly says the tool 'opens nothing by itself'. Beyond the annotations, it discloses what is actually returned ('how to do it in GoHighLevel step by step (screens, buttons, fields)'), which is the single most important behavioral fact here. It stops short of describing output format or how much detail is returned for complex workflows.

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 content is two tight ideas, but the closing fragment 'GoHighLevel's official API: Yes.' is cryptic and unexplained, and the audience list 'from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent' is filler. The most decision-relevant fact (it returns instructions and opens nothing) arrives in the second sentence rather than being front-loaded.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a zero-parameter, non-destructive guidance tool with annotations already covering the safety profile, the description covers what it returns and what to do next. However, it never explains how the agent should convey the desired workflow given there are no inputs, nor how it relates to the sibling workflow tools (add_trigger, add_action, publish_workflow) that presumably build and publish what this tool only describes.

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 there is no parameter semantics to explain and the baseline of 4 applies. One could argue the description should clarify how the agent communicates which workflow to build given there is no input field, but with an empty schema this is the expected outcome rather than a description failure.

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 (create a workflow in the user's GoHighLevel account) and then clarifies the actual mechanism: it returns step-by-step instructions rather than performing the action. That clarification is essential, though the headline phrasing 'Create workflow' is still slightly in tension with 'opens nothing by itself', so an agent must read the second sentence to understand the tool. Sibling differentiation is only partial, since gohighlevel_publish_workflow, gohighlevel_add_action and gohighlevel_add_trigger are never mentioned.

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?

The description gives clear sequencing guidance: this tool produces the instructions, then the agent should execute them with the cotlet_browser_* tools in the GoHighLevel Cloud Browser. That is a genuinely useful when-to-use and what-next statement. It lacks explicit exclusions, e.g. when to prefer gohighlevel_add_trigger or gohighlevel_publish_workflow instead, and the phrase 'from ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent' adds no selection value.

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