WHAT IT DOES

What get_apex_code_coverage does on Salesforce MCP Server

AI agents call get_apex_code_coverage to retrieve information from Salesforce MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_apex_code_coverage needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only query operation to obtain metrics and test coverage data from a Salesforce organization. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, and poses minimal risk if misused by an AI agent. The worst-case scenario would be information disclosure of internal coverage metrics.

From the tool's definition Tool retrieves code coverage information and percentages from Salesforce—'Get code coverage information', 'retrieve org-wide coverage percentage'. No modifications, deletions, or execution of new operations occur.

POLICY

How to control get_apex_code_coverage

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_apex_code_coverage": {}
  }
}

get_apex_code_coverage is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Salesforce MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
