get_record
AI agents call get_record to retrieve information from MCP Salesforce Connector without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool name 'get_record' unambiguously indicates data retrieval without modification or deletion. This aligns with the Read category: retrieves or queries data with no side effects. Even without an explicit description, the semantics of 'get' and comparison with destructive/write peers (delete_record, create_record, bulk_delete_records) establish that this is a retrieval operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_record' is a standard retrieval operation. Context from sibling tools (create_record, delete_record, run_soql_query, bulk_create_records, etc.) and server description indicating 'record management' confirms this is a query/retrieval function.
