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.

Early customer Stadiobet loaded and validated its full customer dataset within two days of kickoff and launched its first campaigns on day 27.
Sales Development Agent is in Microsoft Frontier public preview, with setup guidance from Scott Magee.
