Skill: Odoo Reports

This skill provides the agent with the expertise required to discover, generate, and analyze Odoo business reports (e.g., Invoices, Quotations, and Packing Slips).

Core Mandates

1. Report Architecture

Odoo reports are stored in the ir.actions.report model. They are typically rendered using the QWeb engine into PDF or HTML formats. Every report is linked to a specific business model (e.g., sale.order).

2. Workflow for Generating Reports

1. Find: Use list_reports with a model (e.g., account.move) to find the technical report_name or id (e.g., account.report_invoice).
2. Execute: Use download_report with the report ID/name and the IDs of the records you want to print (e.g., [101]).
3. Analyze: Once the file is downloaded to the local workspace, use standard workspace tools (like read_file or pdf_to_text) to extract and analyze the content.

3. Contextual Rationale

When downloading a report, provide a justification as part of the tool call. This is particularly important for models that track "Printing" or "Sending" events (e.g., Odoo may automatically mark an invoice as "Sent" when it is rendered).

Note: Both report tools support the instance_alias parameter.
