What odoo_web_request does on Odoo Claude MCP

Why odoo_web_request needs a policy

This tool can send arbitrary HTTP requests to any Odoo controller endpoint using an authenticated web session. The scope is unlimited — it can trigger reads, writes, deletions, financial transactions, or any other action exposed by Odoo's controllers. Because it encompasses all possible operations (including Financial and Destructive), it must be classified at the most severe applicable category.

How to control odoo_web_request

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_web_request:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "odoo_web_request": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "odoo_web_request_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

odoo_web_request 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.

  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.
