WHAT IT DOES

What odoo_create does on Odoo

AI agents use odoo_create to create or update resources in Odoo — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Odoo environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why odoo_create needs a policy

This tool creates new records in an Odoo ERP system, which modifies data persistently. While not destructive (records can theoretically be deleted later), creation of unauthorized or incorrect records in an ERP system—especially across sibling tools like odoo_unlink and odoo_write—could cause significant business disruption.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'odoo_create' and description 'Create an Odoo record after safety checks' directly indicate creation of new data records in Odoo.
