What list_modules does on Odoo Index MCP

AI agents call list_modules to retrieve information from Odoo Index MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_modules needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries metadata about Odoo modules without modifying, executing, or deleting anything. It is a pure read operation that returns information about indexed modules. No data is changed, no code is executed, and no destructive actions occur. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve information that already exists in the index.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_modules' and description states 'List all indexed Odoo modules' — a retrieval operation with no side effects.
