What google_auth does on Odoo Claude MCP
AI agents invoke google_auth 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 google_auth is rated High
This tool initiates an OAuth2 authentication flow against Google's identity services, which triggers an external operation (OAuth handshake, token issuance/storage) with side effects beyond simple data retrieval. It grants access to sensitive external services (Gmail and Calendar), meaning misuse could allow an AI agent to obtain credentials/tokens enabling it to read emails, send messages, or modify calendar events.

The rule that runs google_auth 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 google_auth, this is the rule to start with:
google_auth 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Odoo Claude MCP, apply this rule, and every google_auth call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about google_auth
Authenticate with Google OAuth2 for Gmail and Calendar access. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Odoo Claude MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Odoo Claude MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for google_auth: 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.
google_auth is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the google_auth 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for google_auth. 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.
google_auth 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.
