AI agents call odoo_model_fields to retrieve information from Odoo without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and returns metadata about model fields, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations—it simply insposes and returns information about the schema structure of Odoo models. This is consistent with the 'Read' category for data retrieval tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'odoo_model_fields' and description 'Return field metadata for an Odoo model' indicate retrieval of structural information about Odoo models. The verb 'return' and 'metadata' confirm data querying without modification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Return field metadata for an Odoo model. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Odoo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Odoo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for odoo_model_fields: 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 Odoo. Nothing to install.
odoo_model_fields is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the odoo_model_fields 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for odoo_model_fields. 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.
odoo_model_fields is provided by the Odoo MCP server (plgonzalezrx8/odoo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
