Medium Risk

Why odoo_create needs a policy

The tool creates new records in an Odoo database, which is a Write operation. It modifies data by adding new records, but the operation is reversible (records can be deleted via odoo_unlink). The severity is medium because misuse could create unwanted records affecting business processes, but the blast radius is limited to record creation rather than deletion or financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'odoo_create' and description states 'Create a new record in an Odoo model'. The 'create' operation explicitly creates new data in a reversible manner.

How to control odoo_create

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

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

odoo_create 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.
