What user_connection_add does on Odoo Claude MCP
AI agents use user_connection_add to create or update resources in Odoo Claude MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Odoo Claude MCP environment.
Why user_connection_add is rated Medium
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.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs user_connection_add 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 user_connection_add, this is the rule to start with:
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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Odoo Claude MCP, apply this rule, and every user_connection_add call is checked against it from then on.
