Why get_record needs a policy

This tool retrieves existing data from Odoo records without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only query operation. Low severity because unauthorized data access to specific records poses limited blast radius compared to write, destructive, or financial operations, though sensitivity depends on the data classification of records accessed.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_record' and description 'Get detailed information about specific records' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

How to control get_record

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Odoo MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_record:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_record": {}
  }
}

get_record is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Odoo MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
