THE RISK

Low Risk

Why ai_invoice_extract needs a policy

The tool performs data extraction from attachments, which is a read-only operation. It retrieves and structures existing invoice information without creating, modifying, deleting, or causing side effects. The use of Anthropic for extraction is a processing step, not code execution on the system. Blast radius is minimal since misuse would only expose already-existing invoice data.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'extract' and description states 'Extract structured invoice data from an Odoo attachment' — this is a retrieval operation that reads and processes existing data without modifying, deleting, or executing code.

POLICY

How to control ai_invoice_extract

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Odoo Claude MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for ai_invoice_extract:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ai_invoice_extract": {}
  }
}

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