WHAT IT DOES

What oca_update does on Odoo Claude MCP

AI agents invoke oca_update 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.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

oca_update Rate-limited

oca_update 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.
