Why odoo_translate_field needs a policy

This tool writes/creates translation data for fields in Odoo. It modifies data (translations) in a reversible way — translations can be updated or corrected. No code execution or irreversible deletion is involved. The blast radius is medium since incorrect translations could affect user-facing content across the application.

From the tool's definition Write translations for a simple translate=True field (Char/Text/Selection)

POLICY

How to control odoo_translate_field

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_translate_field:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "odoo_translate_field": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "odoo_translate_field_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

odoo_translate_field 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.

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.
