WHAT IT DOES

What sf_activate_flexcard does on Salesforce Metadata Mcp

AI agents use sf_activate_flexcard to create or update resources in Salesforce Metadata Mcp, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Salesforce Metadata Mcp environment.

RISK

Why sf_activate_flexcard is rated Medium

This tool modifies existing metadata reversibly by changing the active state of a FlexCard. It is not destructive because the change is reversible (can be deactivated), not financial, and does not execute arbitrary code. While it affects visibility across pages, it is fundamentally a Write operation that updates component metadata.

From the tool's definition Tool 'activates' a FlexCard by redeploying it with 'isActive=true', which modifies the metadata state of an existing component to make it visible on Lightning pages and Experience Cloud sites.
