What get_alerts does on Odoo Dev MCP

Why get_alerts needs a policy

The 'get' prefix indicates a retrieval operation with no side effects. While the empty description reduces confidence somewhat, the naming pattern is consistent with Read operations that query existing data. No evidence suggests data creation, modification, deletion, code execution, or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_alerts' which follows read-operation naming conventions (get prefix). The description is empty, limiting definitive assessment, but 'get_alerts' strongly suggests querying or retrieving alert data without modification.

How to control get_alerts

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 get_alerts:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_alerts": {}
  }
}

get_alerts is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
