THE RISK

Why report_generator needs a policy

Generating a report in Odoo executes server-side logic to compile, render, and produce a document (PDF, Excel, etc.). This goes beyond a simple read — it triggers an operation with side effects such as file creation and resource consumption. It does not modify or delete records, so Execute is the most appropriate category.

From the tool's definition "Generate an Odoo report" — triggers report generation, an external operation within Odoo that may invoke server-side rendering, data aggregation, and file creation

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access report_generator gives an agent:

POLICY

How to control report_generator

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 report_generator:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "report_generator": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "report_generator_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

report_generator stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. 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.

FAQ

Questions about report_generator

What does the report_generator tool do? +

Generate an Odoo report. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Panda Odoo MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on report_generator? +

Register the Panda Odoo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for report_generator: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Panda Odoo MCP Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is report_generator? +

report_generator is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit report_generator? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the report_generator rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block report_generator completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for report_generator. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides report_generator? +

report_generator is provided by the Panda Odoo MCP Server MCP server (pandeussilvae/mcp-odoo-panda). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Panda Odoo MCP Server tool call.

Start from Panda Odoo MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
