WHAT IT DOES

What sf_get_field_permissions does on Salesforce Metadata Mcp

AI agents call sf_get_field_permissions 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_field_permissions is rated Low

Even though sf_get_field_permissions only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
