Retrieves a list of all available Salesforce SObjects (standard and custom).
AI agents call list_sobjects 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.
This tool performs metadata discovery by listing available SObjects in Salesforce. It is a non-destructive query that returns configuration information without altering data or triggering external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains knowledge of schema structure but cannot access, modify, or delete actual records. This is classified as Read with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Retrieves a list of all available Salesforce SObjects' with no modification, deletion, or execution capability. The verb 'retrieves' and absence of side effects indicate a read-only operation.

Register the MCP Salesforce Connector MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_sobjects: 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 MCP Salesforce Connector. Nothing to install.
list_sobjects 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 list_sobjects 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 list_sobjects. 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.
list_sobjects is provided by the MCP Salesforce Connector MCP server (smn2gnt/mcp-salesforce). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
