Why odoo.write needs a policy

The tool modifies existing records reversibly through standard write operations. While it includes validation and security controls, it can affect critical business data (customers, orders, invoices, inventory, etc.) across an ERP system.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'odoo.write' and description explicitly states 'Write to records' - this is a create/modify operation on data within an Odoo ERP system.

How to control odoo.write

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.write:

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

odoo.write 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.
