Salesforce Certified Agentforce Specialist free question 10 / 10 · Domain 6: Multi-Agent Orchestration
The sales department wants employees to do work using opportunity and account information from the MCP (Model Context Protocol) enabled AI assistants they use every day. How does the Winter '26 release note describe what Salesforce Hosted MCP Servers does in response to this request?
- It exposes the Salesforce APIs and data as a whole set as tools the AI assistant can call
- It exposes the APIs and data an org chooses as resources the AI assistant uses for reading
- It turns the org's data and APIs in bulk into read-only resources and hands them to the AI assistant together
- It exposes specific Salesforce APIs and data the org chooses as tools the AI assistant calls
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: D
Why this is correct
The Winter '26 release note "Enable AI Assistants to Securely Access Your Salesforce Data to Help with Business Tasks (Beta)" says Salesforce Hosted MCP Servers gives AI assistants a standard way to connect to data sources and makes CRM data easier to use. It then explains that an org can expose specific Salesforce APIs and data as tools that AI assistants can use. MCP is an open standard connecting models to external systems, and here Salesforce stands on the server side, with the org choosing what to expose.
Why the other options are wrong
"It exposes the APIs and data an org chooses as resources the AI assistant uses for reading" … The org choosing what to expose is right, but the release note says APIs and data are exposed as tools an AI assistant can use. It does not say data is exposed as resources.
"It exposes the Salesforce APIs and data as a whole set as tools the AI assistant can call" … Exposing as tools is right, but the release note says specific Salesforce APIs and data are exposed. It is not something that exposes an org's APIs and data as a whole set. The org chooses what to expose.
"It turns the org's data and APIs in bulk into read-only resources and hands them to the AI assistant together" … Both the form and the scope conflict with the release note. What is exposed is the specific APIs and data the org chooses, in the form of tools an AI assistant can use. Exposing as a whole set, or as resources, is not described.
Key point
The aim of MCP is to connect AI models and external systems in a standard way, so you do not have to build an API connection and authentication each time. Salesforce Hosted MCP Servers is the entry point that opens the Salesforce side to AI assistants under that standard. As of Winter '26 it is Beta, and the release note says it is available in Developer, sandbox, and scratch orgs that have API Enabled.
