Report local knowledge index sizes and document budget
AI agents call knowledge_stats 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 reports statistics about a knowledge index and document budget, which is a read-only operation that retrieves existing information without side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The low severity reflects minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent—it only exposes informational metrics.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'knowledge_stats' and description 'Report local knowledge index sizes and document budget' indicate retrieval and reporting of metadata about an index—no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Report local knowledge index sizes and document budget. 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 knowledge_stats: 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.
knowledge_stats 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 knowledge_stats 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 knowledge_stats. 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.
knowledge_stats 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.
