The rule that runs backup_list safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Odoo Claude MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For backup_list, this is the rule to start with:
backup_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Odoo Claude MCP, apply this rule, and every backup_list call is checked against it from then on.
