Salesforce Catalog Tells AI Agents How Your Org Actually Works

Salesforce Catalog is a self-updating index of how an org is built, covering objects, fields, flows, Apex, permission sets and Data 360 insights. Agents and assistants, including Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor via an MCP server, query it before answering, running as the signed-in user. It needs a Data 360 edition. Overdue: confident agents guessing field names are expensive.

Sales Development Agent is in Microsoft Frontier public preview, with setup guidance from Scott Magee. It gets its own Entra identity and Exchange mailbox, can be configured in Teams, and connects to Dynamics 365 Sales and Salesforce over MCP. An agent that emails prospects under its own identity is a bigger call than a Copilot sidecar in the CRM.

Seen something we should run?

In Brief runs on tips. A good nugget is short and specific — a launch, a hire, a funding round, a number, a neat find worth a look — and it lands best with a source link so we can check it and cite it. We read everything and curate what runs; nothing publishes automatically.
