What is MCP runtime for AI agents?

It's a secure execution layer that handles tool calls on behalf of users, intersecting agent and user permissions at runtime to prevent leaks and escalations.

How do you connect AI agents to Salesforce securely?

Use OBO execution via MCP: agent proposes action, runtime pulls user creds, checks perms, executes if greenlit—logged fully, no service accounts.

Why avoid service accounts for enterprise AI?

They grant blanket access, nuking RBAC; one injection equals org-wide breach. Runtime intersection keeps it safe and attributable.
