Why odoo_cert_refresh needs a policy

The tool retrieves an SSL certificate and overwrites the stored certificate for a connection. 'Overwrite' indicates modification of existing data (the stored certificate), making this a Write operation. It is not destructive in the irreversible sense since a certificate can be re-fetched again, but it does modify/replace stored configuration data.

How to control odoo_cert_refresh

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 odoo_cert_refresh:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "odoo_cert_refresh": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "odoo_cert_refresh_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

odoo_cert_refresh stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
