Why reconcile_invoices_and_payments needs a policy

Reconciling invoices and payments in an ERP system links payment records to invoice records, modifying the financial state of both. This is a Write operation (modifying accounting records) with potential Financial implications. However, since reconciliation typically matches existing records rather than moving money, Write is the most appropriate category. Severity is high due to the financial data being modified.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'reconcile_invoices_and_payments' and server description mentions 'financial records reconciliation'

POLICY

How to control reconcile_invoices_and_payments

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

policy.json

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

reconcile_invoices_and_payments 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.
