Execute a SOQL query against a Salesforce org
AI agents call sf_data_query to retrieve information from Salesforce CLI MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
SOQL (Salesforce Object Query Language) is a read-only query language used to retrieve data from Salesforce. It does not support INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or other DML operations — those require separate Apex or Data API calls. The tool executes queries to fetch records, making it a Read operation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Execute a SOQL query against a Salesforce org. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Salesforce CLI MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Salesforce CLI MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sf_data_query: 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 CLI MCP Server. Nothing to install.
sf_data_query 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 sf_data_query 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 sf_data_query. 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.
sf_data_query is provided by the Salesforce CLI MCP Server MCP server (timaw513-emergenit/salesforce-cli-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
