Retrieves field Names, labels and types for a specific Salesforce object
AI agents call get_object_fields to retrieve information from Salesforce without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves metadata about object structure (field names, labels, types) without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It is a read-only information lookup, similar to schema inspection. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains knowledge of available fields but cannot alter data or trigger operations.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Retrieves field Names, labels and types for a specific Salesforce object' — a query operation with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieves field Names, labels and types for a specific Salesforce object. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Salesforce MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Salesforce MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_object_fields: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Salesforce. Nothing to install.
get_object_fields is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_object_fields rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_object_fields. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_object_fields is provided by the Salesforce MCP server (leilaabdel/mcp-salesforce). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
