WHAT IT DOES

What sf_get_event_logs does on Salesforce Metadata Mcp

AI agents call sf_get_event_logs to retrieve information from Salesforce Metadata Mcp without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why sf_get_event_logs is rated Low

This tool retrieves security and activity log data from Salesforce's EventLogFile object. It is fundamentally a read operation that queries existing logs for monitoring purposes. While logs can contain sensitive information (logins, API calls, code executions), the tool itself only accesses data without side effects.

From the tool's definition Queries EventLogFile for detailed activity logs capturing org activity including login attempts, API calls, Apex executions, and page views. The tool retrieves and returns parsed CSV log entries without modification or deletion.
