AI agents invoke google_gmail_send 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.
Sending email is an external operation with real-world consequences — it delivers messages to recipients outside the system. It is not purely a write to a local data store; it triggers an irreversible external action (email delivery cannot be recalled in general). This places it in Execute.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access google_gmail_send gives an agent:
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 google_gmail_send:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"google_gmail_send": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "google_gmail_send_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
} google_gmail_send 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.

Send an email or reply to an existing message. 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_gmail_send: 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_gmail_send 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_gmail_send 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_gmail_send. 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_gmail_send 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.
Start from Odoo Claude MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
