Why oca_gen_readme needs a policy

This tool runs an external command/script (oca-gen-addon-readme) to generate a README file. It executes an external tool and writes output, making it Execute category. The blast radius is medium since it generates/overwrites documentation files but doesn't affect core business data.

POLICY

How to control oca_gen_readme

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 oca_gen_readme:

policy.json

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

oca_gen_readme 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.

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