What proxy_refresh does on Odoo Claude MCP
AI agents invoke proxy_refresh 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.
Why proxy_refresh is rated High
This tool triggers an active re-discovery/refresh operation across internal MCP sub-services. It executes an external operation (scanning/probing sub-services) rather than simply reading existing data or writing a record. Misuse could disrupt service discovery or cause unintended side effects across multiple sub-services, warranting medium severity.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs proxy_refresh 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 proxy_refresh, this is the rule to start with:
proxy_refresh 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Odoo Claude MCP, apply this rule, and every proxy_refresh call is checked against it from then on.
