Why create_odoo_view needs a policy

Creating Odoo views generates new configuration/UI data that can be modified or deleted later, making it a Write operation. Severity is high because misconfigured views in a development environment could affect multiple users or be propagated to production if not carefully managed. Confidence is reduced from 0.9 to 0.85 due to empty description, but the tool name and server context provide strong signals.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_odoo_view' with 'create' prefix indicates reversible creation of Odoo views, which are data structures defining UI layouts in Odoo applications.

POLICY

How to control create_odoo_view

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Odoo Dev MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_odoo_view:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_odoo_view": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_odoo_view_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_odoo_view stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Odoo Dev MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
