Get a record from a Salesforce org from a project using the SF CLI. Retrieves all field values for the specified record.
AI agents call get_record to retrieve information from Salesforce CLI MCP Server 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 query operation against Salesforce to fetch record data. It retrieves information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could retrieve sensitive data it shouldn't access, but this is a confidentiality concern rather than a destructive or operational risk. Classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_record' and description 'Retrieves all field values for the specified record' indicate data retrieval with no modification or deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get a record from a Salesforce org from a project using the SF CLI. Retrieves all field values for the specified record. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Salesforce CLI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Salesforce CLI MCP Server 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 CLI MCP Server. 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 CLI MCP Server MCP server (perrynet/salesforce-cli-mcp-server). 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.
