Part of the Salesforce Cloud MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call find_similar_opportunities to retrieve information from Salesforce Cloud without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though find_similar_opportunities only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Find opportunities similar to a reference opportunity or based on specific criteria. Includes pattern analysis and similarity scoring to identify market trends and success patterns.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Salesforce Cloud MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for find_similar_opportunities. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Salesforce Cloud MCP server.
find_similar_opportunities 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 find_similar_opportunities rule in your Intercept 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 Intercept policy for find_similar_opportunities. 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.
find_similar_opportunities is provided by the Salesforce Cloud MCP server (@aaronsb/salesforce-cloud-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
