Check if the current user has access rights for a specific operation on a model.
AI agents call odoo_check_access_rights to retrieve information from MCP Odoo Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a read-only operation that queries the access control metadata for the current user without triggering any side effects, modifications, or execution of other operations. The tool provides visibility into permissions but does not change state or enable unauthorized actions directly.
From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'check' and description states it performs a permission query ('Check if the current user has access rights'). No modification, deletion, or execution of operations occurs; it only inspects and returns access information.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Check if the current user has access rights for a specific operation on a model. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Odoo Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Odoo Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for odoo_check_access_rights: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches MCP Odoo Server. Nothing to install.
odoo_check_access_rights is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the odoo_check_access_rights rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for odoo_check_access_rights. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
odoo_check_access_rights is provided by the MCP Odoo Server MCP server (malvernbright/odoo-claude-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
