Execute a SOQL query on Salesforce
AI agents call query 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.
SOQL (Salesforce Object Query Language) is a read-only query language used to retrieve data from Salesforce. It cannot modify, delete, or create records. However, confidence is slightly reduced because the tool description is brief and doesn't explicitly confirm it's restricted to SELECT statements only — a more permissive implementation could allow DML via the API.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Execute a SOQL query on Salesforce. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Salesforce MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Salesforce MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for 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 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
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 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 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.
query is provided by the Salesforce MCP Server MCP server (uday210/salesforce-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
