Retrieves a specific record by ID
AI agents call get_record 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 performs a data retrieval operation with no side effects. It queries and returns information without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The blast radius of misuse is limited to potential unauthorized information disclosure, which is a lower-severity concern compared to write, destructive, or financial operations.
From the tool's definition Retrieves a specific record by ID. The verb 'Retrieves' and the read-only nature of the operation (no creation, modification, or deletion occurs).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieves a specific record by ID. 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_record: 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_record 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_record 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_record. 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_record 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.
Every MCP server has a record like this.
