What sf_activate_omniscript does on Salesforce Metadata Mcp
AI agents invoke sf_activate_omniscript to trigger actions in Salesforce Metadata Mcp. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why sf_activate_omniscript is rated High
