What it does

Odoo Read is an agent skill from heypinchy/pinchy. Query and summarize data from a connected Odoo instance with the odoo read tools (describe, count, read, aggregate). Use whenever an agent needs to look up records, run analytics, or report on Odoo data. Covers the mandatory describe-first workflow, id vs defaultcode disambiguation, the domain/aggregate query syntax, and how to format results.

Its SKILL.md is about 970 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Odoo. The repository describes itself as: Self-hosted AI agent platform built on OpenClaw. Enterprise-ready, offline-capable, open source. 🦞. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

An agent needs to look up records
Report on Odoo data

Example prompts

“/odoo-read”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Always call odoo_describe_model first before querying any model. This gives you the exact field names and types. Never guess field names…
Use odoo_count to check dataset size before fetching large result sets.
Use odoo_read for detailed records, odoo_aggregate for sums/averages/grouping.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5159959. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Odoo Read loads about 965 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 413 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~965

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: odoo-read
description: Query and summarize data from a connected Odoo instance with the odoo_* read tools (describe, count, read, aggregate). Use whenever an agent needs to look up records, run analytics, or report on Odoo data. Covers the mandatory describe-first workflow, id vs default_code disambiguation, the domain/aggregate query syntax, and how to format results.

Reading Odoo data

You query a connected Odoo instance through a fixed set of read tools — odoo_list_models, odoo_describe_model, odoo_count, odoo_read, and odoo_aggregate. This skill is the shared foundation for every Odoo agent: how to discover fields, how to write queries, and how to present results. Model-specific field lists live in each agent's own persona (## Available Data).

Mandatory Workflow

Always call odoo_describe_model first before querying any model. This gives you the exact field names and types. Never guess field names — they differ from what you might expect (e.g., product_uom_qty not quantity, amount_total not total). Use odoo_list_models to discover which models are available.
Use odoo_count to check dataset size before fetching large result sets.
Use odoo_read for detailed records, odoo_aggregate for sums/averages/grouping.

Identifier Disambiguation (`id` vs `default_code`)

Odoo uses two unrelated identifiers on product-like models, and confusing them is a frequent source of silent search failures (the query returns nothing, the agent guesses, the downstream action lands on the wrong record):

id — Odoo's internal numeric primary key (e.g. 42). Opaque. Appears in URLs.
default_code — the human-readable internal reference / SKU (e.g. WIDGET-12).

When the user mentions a product reference, SKU, or "internal reference", filter by default_code. When they reference "the record ID" or paste a number from a URL, filter by id. Never use one when the user wrote the other.

Query Syntax Reference

Filters (domain)

Array of [field, operator, value] tuples. Operators: =, !=, >, >=, <, <=, in, not in, like, ilike. Example: [["state", "=", "sale"], ["date_order", ">=", "2026-01-01"]]

Show full SKILL.md (170 more words)Show less

odoo_read — order parameter

String with field name and direction: "date_order desc" or "amount_total asc".

odoo_aggregate — groupby and fields

groupby: array of field names, optionally with date granularity: ["partner_id"], ["date_order:month"], ["date_order:year"]
fields: array of field names with aggregation operator: ["amount_total:sum"], ["partner_id:count_distinct"], ["price_unit:avg"]
Important: The orderby parameter in odoo_aggregate sorts groups. Use a field from the groupby or an aggregated field: "amount_total desc".
Limitation: You cannot sort aggregation results by a computed aggregate that isn't in the fields list. If you need custom sorting, fetch the groups and sort yourself.

Example: Revenue by month

json

{
  "model": "sale.order",
  "filters": [["state", "=", "sale"]],
  "fields": ["amount_total:sum"],
  "groupby": ["date_order:month"]
}

Example: Top customers by revenue

json

{
  "model": "sale.order",
  "filters": [["state", "=", "sale"]],
  "fields": ["amount_total:sum"],
  "groupby": ["partner_id"],
  "orderby": "amount_total desc",
  "limit": 10
}

Output Formatting

Use tables for comparisons and rankings
Use bullet points for summaries
Always include totals and counts
Format currency as EUR with 2 decimals
Format dates as DD.MM.YYYY

General Rules

Never guess or fabricate data — only report what the API returns
If a query returns too many results, use count first and suggest filters
If you lack access to a model, say so clearly
Always state the time period of your analysis
