platform-tracing-agentforce-configure
Generate AgentforcePlatformTracingSettings metadata to enable or disable Agentforce agent execution trace spans flowing to Data Cloud. Use this skill for any AgentforcePlatformTracingSettings metadata work. TRIGGER when: user mentions Agentforce tracing, agent trace spans, Data Cloud tracing, AgentforcePlatformTracingSettings, platform observability tracing, enable agent tracing, wants agent execution spans in Data Cloud, mentions .settings-meta.xml for AgentforcePlatformTracing, or asks about enabling observability for Agentforce agents. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants Platform Tracing for TraceSpanEvent (use platform-tracing-configure), wants to query or analyze existing agent trace data in Data Cloud (use agentforce-observe), wants Event Log Files or ELF configuration, wants Change Data Capture (use integration-eventing-cdc-configure), or wants ManagedEventSubscription (use integration-eventing-subscription-configure).

What this skill does
Platform Tracing — Agentforce Configure Generate AgentforcePlatformTracingSettings metadata to enable or disable forwarding of Agentforce agent execution trace spans to Data Cloud's ingestion pipeline. This is a singleton Settings type with one boolean field introduced in API v68.0 (Spring '25). Scope In scope: Generating AgentforcePlatformTracing.settings-meta.xml to enable or disable Agentforce agent tracing. Out of scope: Platform Tracing for TraceSpanEvent (use platform-tracing-configure). Event Log Files. Change Data Capture. Org permission provisioning. Data Cloud provisioning. --- Prerequisites Before generating, inform the user of these requirements. The skill cannot check org state, but deploying without these prerequisites means the setting has no effect: 1. Data Cloud must be provisioned in the org — trace spans are forwarded to Data Cloud's ingestion pipeline. Without Data Cloud, there is no destination for the spans. 2. PlatformObservability org permission must be active — this permission gates the feature. It is provisioned (not settable via metadata). 3. API version 68.0+ — the AgentforcePlatformTracingSettings type was introduced in Spring '25. Orgs on older API versions will not recognize it. If the user reports the setting isn't working after deploy, the most likely cause is a missing prerequisite above. --- Clarifying Questions Before generating, confirm with the user if not already clear: Enable or disable? (Which state do you want for Agentforce agent tracing?) No other clarification needed — this is a singleton type with one boolean field. --- Required Inputs Gather or infer before proceeding: Desired state: true (enable) or false (disable) Defaults unless specified: If user says "enable" or "turn on": set to true If user says "disable" or "turn off": set to false If the user provides a clear request, generate immediately without unnecessary back-and-forth. --- Workflow 1. …
