WHAT IT DOES

What github_api does on Odoo Claude MCP

AI agents invoke github_api 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.

RISK

Why github_api is rated High

This tool makes arbitrary GitHub REST API calls, which can span reading repos, writing/creating content, triggering workflows, managing webhooks, or even deleting repositories depending on the endpoint called. Since the tool allows arbitrary API calls with no described restriction, the most severe applicable category is Execute (with potential for Destructive actions).

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs github_api 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 github_api, this is the rule to start with:

github_api Rate-limited

github_api 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.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "github_api": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "github_api_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Odoo Claude MCP, apply this rule, and every github_api call is checked against it from then on.
