List available Salesforce objects with limit and pagination (10-20 objects max)
AI agents call list_avail_objects to retrieve information from MCP Salesforce Lite without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation that retrieves or queries available Salesforce object metadata with pagination. It has no side effects, does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The limited result set (10-20 objects max) further constrains its scope. Misuse would only expose metadata already discoverable through normal Salesforce exploration, presenting minimal risk.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_avail_objects' and description states it 'List available Salesforce objects' which retrieves metadata about available objects without modification or execution of operations.
