THE RISK

Low Risk

Why odoo.name_search needs a policy

This tool searches and retrieves records by name from an Odoo instance. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The security authentication mentioned is a protective measure, not indicative of a higher-risk operation. This is a straightforward read operation and falls squarely in the Read category with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'name_search' and description 'Search records by name' indicate a query/retrieval operation. The phrase 'with security using global authentication' confirms it enforces access controls but performs no modifications.

POLICY

How to control odoo.name_search

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.name_search:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "odoo.name_search": {}
  }
}

odoo.name_search 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 Panda Odoo MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
