Retrieves field Names, labels and types for a specific Salesforce object
AI agents call get_object_fields to retrieve information from Salesforce MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs schema introspection—retrieving metadata about Salesforce object fields (names, labels, types). It has no side effects, does not modify data, does not execute code or commands, and does not delete or move resources. It is purely informational retrieval, consistent with the 'Read' category for queries and metadata fetches.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_object_fields' and description 'Retrieves field Names, labels and types for a specific Salesforce object' indicate a read-only operation that queries metadata about object schema without modifying or executing any operations.

Register the Salesforce MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_object_fields: 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 Salesforce MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_object_fields 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 get_object_fields 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 get_object_fields. 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.
