WHAT IT DOES

What sf_create_agent does on Salesforce Metadata Mcp

AI agents use sf_create_agent 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_create_agent is rated Medium

This tool creates new Agentforce Agent configurations in Salesforce, which is a reversible metadata write operation. It does not delete data (not Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code or external operations (not Execute), does not move money (not Financial), and is not a simple read (not Read).

From the tool's definition 'Creates an Agentforce Agent (Einstein Copilot) shell in Salesforce' — the tool explicitly creates a new configuration object that modifies Salesforce's agent setup.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs sf_create_agent safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Salesforce Metadata Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For sf_create_agent, this is the rule to start with:

sf_create_agent Rate-limited

sf_create_agent stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
