Why create_security_rules needs a policy

This tool appears to generate or create security rule definitions for Odoo modules. Security rules in Odoo control data access and permissions, making them configuration objects that can be created and modified. This falls into Write category (reversible creation/modification) rather than Execute or Destructive, as rule creation typically does not execute arbitrary code or permanently delete data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_security_rules' indicates creation of security rules in Odoo; sibling tools consistently follow a 'create_' naming pattern for Write operations (create_odoo_model, create_odoo_module, create_odoo_view, etc.); empty description reduces…

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_security_rules gives an agent:

How to control create_security_rules

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_security_rules:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_security_rules": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_security_rules_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_security_rules 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.

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