THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why user_connection_add needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies connection credentials/configuration stored per-user. While reversible (can be updated or removed later), it affects authentication state and could enable unauthorized access if misused. Severity is medium because the blast radius is limited to a single user's connections rather than system-wide, but credentials or connection details are sensitive.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'user_connection_add' and description states 'Add/update a personal Odoo connection (saved per-user)' — creates or modifies user-specific connection data.

POLICY

How to control user_connection_add

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 user_connection_add:

policy.json

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

user_connection_add 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.

How do I enforce a policy on user_connection_add? +

Register the Odoo Claude MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for user_connection_add: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Odoo Claude MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is user_connection_add? +

user_connection_add is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit user_connection_add? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the user_connection_add rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block user_connection_add completely? +

What MCP server provides user_connection_add? +

user_connection_add is provided by the Odoo Claude MCP server (rosenvladimirov/odoo-claude-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Odoo Claude MCP tool call.

Start from Odoo Claude MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
