Why odoo_create needs a policy

This tool creates new records in an Odoo database. While the operation is technically reversible (records can be deleted), creating records in an ERP system—especially one handling invoices, financial documents, and multi-tenant data—poses high risk if an AI agent misuses it to create unauthorized or fraudulent entries.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create one or more records' which is a reversible data creation operation. The presence of sibling tools like 'ai_invoice_extract', 'ai_invoice_pipeline_run', and context of multi-tenant Odoo instance suggests this operates on…

How to control odoo_create

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_create:

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

odoo_create 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.

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