What ee_depends does on Odoo Claude MCP

AI agents call ee_depends to retrieve information from Odoo Claude MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why ee_depends needs a policy

This is a purely informational tool that displays dependency relationships between modules. It performs a read-only query of the system's module structure and returns hierarchical information. There are no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive operations. The scope is limited to introspection of already-installed module metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'ee_depends' and description 'Show full dependency tree of an EE module' indicate a retrieval/inspection operation that queries module dependency metadata without modifying, executing code, or affecting data.

How to control ee_depends

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 ee_depends:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ee_depends": {}
  }
}

ee_depends is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Odoo Claude MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
