What oca_link does on Odoo Claude MCP
AI agents invoke oca_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 oca_link is rated High
Creating a symlink in the Odoo addons path is a filesystem operation that affects the server's module loading behavior. It's not purely a write (data creation) but an execution-level action that modifies the runtime environment — adding a symlink to the addons path causes Odoo to discover and potentially load new modules, which can alter system behavior.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs oca_link 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 oca_link, this is the rule to start with:
oca_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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Odoo Claude MCP, apply this rule, and every oca_link call is checked against it from then on.
