What is brass-monkey GEMINI.md?

Project instructions for Brass-Monkey, a Gemini CLI extension that connects AI assistants to Odoo, a business platform for areas such as sales, accounting, and inventory.

Use them when starting an Odoo session or changing Odoo-related code, especially when the work involves environment discovery, CRM, ERP data, or approval before modifications.

They require the assistant to learn the specific Odoo environment before using business operations. This helps account for differences in server version, permissions, company, and installed applications.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.01602	$0.01602
Opus 5	$0.00801	$0.00801
Sonnet 5	$0.00320	$0.00320
Haiku 4.5	$0.00160	$0.00160

Security

Grade A, and why

brass-monkey GEMINI.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Brass-Monkey (Gemini CLI Extension for Odoo)

Project Mandate

Brass-Monkey replaces Brass-Compass, a prototype Python MCP server, with a modern, secure, and intelligent Node.js bridge for Odoo. It provides AI agents with a high-fidelity interface to Odoo's CRM, ERP, and business logic layers.

Source Reference: Original Python implementation: brass-compass

Critical Protocols

1. Orientation (The "World Map" Rule)

Mandate: Your ABSOLUTE FIRST ACTION when starting a new session or connecting to an Odoo instance for the first time MUST be:
1. Activate the odoo-get-started skill.
2. Execute get_environment to establish a context "World Map".
Reasoning: Odoo instances vary wildly. "Blind" discovery via multiple search_read calls is inefficient and error-prone. One get_environment call provides server version, user permissions, active company, and installed apps.
Enforcement: Failure to orient before executing business logic is considered a violation of project standards.

2. Explanations First & Buy-in

Mandate: ALWAYS provide a technical explanation of proposed changes and seek user understanding/approval BEFORE modifying files or executing state-changing commands.
UI Transparency: When using state-changing tools (create_record, write_record, unlink_record), you MUST describe the intended change and the specific values in the chat message before calling the tool. Because tool parameters are often truncated in the UI, the chat message is the primary source of truth for user approval.
Enforcement: For any change affecting more than one file, modifying tool logic, or altering architectural patterns, you MUST present a strategy and wait for explicit user buy-in. Treat reports of bugs or concerning behavior as Inquiries (Research/Strategy) rather than Directives (Immediate Action) until a plan is agreed upon.

4. Structural Fixes over Band-aids

Mandate: Prioritize correcting the root cause of agent confusion over implementing restrictive "Write Guards" or tool-level blocks.
Pattern: If an agent makes a mistake, first audit the Orientation (World Map) data provided by get_environment and the Skill instructions. Fix the data presentation or the guidance before resorting to hard-coded tool restrictions.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
