Generate an Odoo OWL client action scaffold and matching ir.actions.client XML.
AI agents use create_owl_client_action to create or update resources in Odoo Dev MCP — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Odoo Dev MCP environment.
This tool generates and writes new code files (OWL component scaffolds and XML action definitions) into the Odoo module, which modifies the codebase reversibly. While it creates development artifacts rather than data, the effect is file creation and module modification. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move money.
From the tool's definition Tool creates new code artifacts: 'Generate an Odoo OWL client action scaffold and matching ir.actions.client XML' - creates files and modifies the Odoo module structure by adding new client action components.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_owl_client_action gives an agent:
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_owl_client_action:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_owl_client_action": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_owl_client_action_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_owl_client_action 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.

Generate an Odoo OWL client action scaffold and matching ir.actions.client XML. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Odoo Dev MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Odoo Dev MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_owl_client_action: 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 Odoo Dev MCP. Nothing to install.
create_owl_client_action is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_owl_client_action 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 create_owl_client_action. 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.
create_owl_client_action is provided by the Odoo Dev MCP server (mart337i/odoo-dev-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Odoo Dev MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
Free to start. No card required.
