Get field metadata for a specific Odoo model
AI agents call get_model_fields to retrieve information from Odoo MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves metadata about model fields in Odoo, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete data or execute code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal - an AI agent could only learn about field structure, not manipulate data or trigger operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get field metadata for a specific Odoo model' - this is a data retrieval operation that queries field structure/schema information without modifying, deleting, or executing operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get field metadata for a specific Odoo model. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Odoo MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Odoo MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_model_fields: 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 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_model_fields is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_model_fields 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_model_fields. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_model_fields is provided by the Odoo MCP Server MCP server (pypi:odoo-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
