salesforce_dml_records

Insert, update, delete, or upsert Salesforce records using DML operations to manage data across objects like Accounts and Cases.

Instructions

Perform data manipulation operations on Salesforce records:

  • insert: Create new records

  • update: Modify existing records (requires Id)

  • delete: Remove records (requires Id)

  • upsert: Insert or update based on external ID field Examples: Insert new Accounts, Update Case status, Delete old records, Upsert based on custom external ID

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
operationYesType of DML operation to perform
objectNameYesAPI name of the object
recordsYesArray of records to process
externalIdFieldNoExternal ID field name for upsert operations

Implementation Reference

  • Core handler function executing DML operations (insert/update/delete/upsert) on Salesforce records, formats results with success counts and detailed error messages.
    export async function handleDMLRecords(conn: any, args: DMLArgs) { const { operation, objectName, records, externalIdField } = args; let result: DMLResult | DMLResult[]; switch (operation) { case 'insert': result = await conn.sobject(objectName).create(records); break; case 'update': result = await conn.sobject(objectName).update(records); break; case 'delete': result = await conn.sobject(objectName).destroy(records.map(r => r.Id)); break; case 'upsert': if (!externalIdField) { throw new Error('externalIdField is required for upsert operations'); } result = await conn.sobject(objectName).upsert(records, externalIdField); break; default: throw new Error(`Unsupported operation: ${operation}`); } // Format DML results const results = Array.isArray(result) ? result : [result]; const successCount = results.filter(r => r.success).length; const failureCount = results.length - successCount; let responseText = `${operation.toUpperCase()} operation completed.\n`; responseText += `Processed ${results.length} records:\n`; responseText += `- Successful: ${successCount}\n`; responseText += `- Failed: ${failureCount}\n\n`; if (failureCount > 0) { responseText += 'Errors:\n'; results.forEach((r: DMLResult, idx: number) => { if (!r.success && r.errors) { responseText += `Record ${idx + 1}:\n`; if (Array.isArray(r.errors)) { r.errors.forEach((error) => { responseText += ` - ${error.message}`; if (error.statusCode) { responseText += ` [${error.statusCode}]`; } if (error.fields && error.fields.length > 0) { responseText += `\n Fields: ${error.fields.join(', ')}`; } responseText += '\n'; }); } else { // Single error object const error = r.errors; responseText += ` - ${error.message}`; if (error.statusCode) { responseText += ` [${error.statusCode}]`; } if (error.fields) { const fields = Array.isArray(error.fields) ? error.fields.join(', ') : error.fields; responseText += `\n Fields: ${fields}`; } responseText += '\n'; } } }); } return { content: [{ type: "text", text: responseText }], isError: false, }; }
  • Tool specification including name, description, and input schema defining parameters for DML operations.
    export const DML_RECORDS: Tool = { name: "salesforce_dml_records", description: `Perform data manipulation operations on Salesforce records: - insert: Create new records - update: Modify existing records (requires Id) - delete: Remove records (requires Id) - upsert: Insert or update based on external ID field Examples: Insert new Accounts, Update Case status, Delete old records, Upsert based on custom external ID`, inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { operation: { type: "string", enum: ["insert", "update", "delete", "upsert"], description: "Type of DML operation to perform" }, objectName: { type: "string", description: "API name of the object" }, records: { type: "array", items: { type: "object" }, description: "Array of records to process" }, externalIdField: { type: "string", description: "External ID field name for upsert operations", optional: true } }, required: ["operation", "objectName", "records"] } };
  • src/index.ts:45-63 (registration)
    Registers the salesforce_dml_records tool (via DML_RECORDS) in the listTools endpoint response.
    server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({ tools: [ SEARCH_OBJECTS, DESCRIBE_OBJECT, QUERY_RECORDS, AGGREGATE_QUERY, DML_RECORDS, MANAGE_OBJECT, MANAGE_FIELD, MANAGE_FIELD_PERMISSIONS, SEARCH_ALL, READ_APEX, WRITE_APEX, READ_APEX_TRIGGER, WRITE_APEX_TRIGGER, EXECUTE_ANONYMOUS, MANAGE_DEBUG_LOGS ], }));
  • src/index.ts:119-131 (registration)
    Switch case dispatcher for salesforce_dml_records that validates input arguments and invokes the handleDMLRecords handler.
    case "salesforce_dml_records": { const dmlArgs = args as Record<string, unknown>; if (!dmlArgs.operation || !dmlArgs.objectName || !Array.isArray(dmlArgs.records)) { throw new Error('operation, objectName, and records array are required for DML'); } const validatedArgs: DMLArgs = { operation: dmlArgs.operation as 'insert' | 'update' | 'delete' | 'upsert', objectName: dmlArgs.objectName as string, records: dmlArgs.records as Record<string, any>[], externalIdField: dmlArgs.externalIdField as string | undefined }; return await handleDMLRecords(conn, validatedArgs); }
  • TypeScript interface defining the expected arguments for the DML handler, used for validation.
    export interface DMLArgs { operation: 'insert' | 'update' | 'delete' | 'upsert'; objectName: string; records: Record<string, any>[]; externalIdField?: string; }
