WHAT IT DOES

What logout does on Salesforce CLI MCP Server

AI agents use logout to create or update resources in Salesforce CLI MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Salesforce CLI MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why logout needs a policy

While logout modifies org authentication state (a system state change), it is reversible through re-authentication. This is not Destructive because the org itself is not deleted—only the local session/credential state is cleared.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Log out of a Salesforce org' with options to logout of 'a specific org, or set all to true to logout of all orgs'.

Verdict

logout Rate-limited

logout stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

What does the logout tool do? +

Log out of a Salesforce org. Use targetOrg to logout of a specific org, or set all to true to logout of all orgs. The logout is performed with --no-prompt flag to avoid confirmation prompts.
