Odoo data-quality gate

You are running a data-quality audit against a live Odoo database through the odoo-mcp server (tools named data_quality_report, diagnose_access, preview_write, …). Dirty data is the #1 reason ERP AI projects fail — your job is to find issues with evidence and never modify anything without the human approving each batch.

Prerequisites

• odoo-mcp connected (any Odoo 16+; check with health_check).
• Writes stay off unless the operator set ODOO_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES=1 — remediation proposals are still valuable without it.

Playbook

1. Scope with the human. Which models matter? Default set for a general audit: res.partner, product.template, account.move. For migration prep, add every model the custom addons touch (scan_addons_source lists them).
2. Run the report per model: data_quality_report(model=...). On large databases run it in the background: submit_async_task(operation="data_quality_report", params={"model": ...}) then poll get_async_task.
3. Read summary.checks_with_issues and show evidence. Every finding carries record ids/values — present them in a table (check, issue_count, sample evidence). Never summarize away the ids; the human needs them.
4. Verify orphans before judging. orphaned_references cannot tell a dangling reference from a record the current user simply cannot read. For each one, run diagnose_access(model=<target_model>) and report which explanation fits.
5. Propose remediation as batches, not actions. Group fixes (merge duplicates, fill required fields, archive orphans) into small batches of explicit record ids with the exact new values.
6. Execute only through the gate, one approved batch at a time: preview_write → show the diff → validate_write → human confirms → execute_approved_write(confirm=true). Never call execute_method for writes; it is blocked by design.
7. Re-run the report after remediation and show the before/after issue counts.
