What ee_link does on Odoo Claude MCP

AI agents invoke ee_link to trigger actions in Odoo Claude MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why ee_link needs a policy

Creating symlinks in the filesystem is a system-level operation that modifies the file structure of the Odoo installation. It triggers external OS operations (symlink creation) that affect which modules are available for installation. This goes beyond a simple Write as it modifies the server's addon path configuration and can enable enterprise modules, potentially with significant system-wide effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access ee_link gives an agent:

How to control ee_link

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_link:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "ee_link": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "ee_link_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

ee_link stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. 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.

How do I enforce a policy on ee_link? +

Register the Odoo Claude MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ee_link: 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 Claude MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is ee_link? +

ee_link is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit ee_link? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ee_link 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.

How do I block ee_link completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ee_link. 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.

What MCP server provides ee_link? +

ee_link is provided by the Odoo Claude MCP server (rosenvladimirov/odoo-claude-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
