Why get_development_guidelines needs a policy

This tool retrieves guidelines or documentation—a read operation with no side effects. Even though the description is empty, the name and context (an MCP server for Odoo development providing documentation) strongly suggest it fetches or queries stored guidelines rather than modifying state or executing code.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_development_guidelines' indicates retrieval of documentation or reference material. Description is empty, but the naming pattern aligns with the server's stated purpose of providing 'version-aware documentation links' and supporting development…

POLICY

How to control get_development_guidelines

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_development_guidelines:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_development_guidelines": {}
  }
}

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