AI agents call get_code_example to retrieve information from Salesforce Documentation MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays pre-existing code examples from documentation. It is purely informational—it reads documentation content to serve code snippets to users. There is no capability to execute code, modify systems, delete data, or create financial transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Get code examples from Salesforce documentation' and 'Returns code snippets demonstrating specific functionality.' The verb 'get' and 'returns' indicate retrieval without modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_code_example gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Salesforce Documentation MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_code_example:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_code_example": {}
}
}get_code_example is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
