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)."

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.xmlto 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:
- 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.
PlatformObservabilityorg permission must be active — this permission gates the feature. It is provisioned (not settable via metadata).- API version 68.0+ — the
AgentforcePlatformTracingSettingstype 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) orfalse(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
-
Warn about prerequisites — inform the user that this feature requires Data Cloud and the
PlatformObservabilityorg permission. -
Read the template — load
assets/AgentforcePlatformTracing-template.xml. -
Generate the settings file — replace
{ENABLED}withtrueorfalsebased on the user's desired state. -
Place the file — output to
settings/AgentforcePlatformTracing.settings-meta.xmlin the project's source directory.
Rules / Constraints
| Constraint | Rationale |
|---|---|
| Singleton — only one file per org, one boolean field | The metadata type has exactly one instance. Deploying the file sets the org-wide preference. |
XML namespace must be http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata |
Any other namespace causes deploy failure. |
File must be named AgentforcePlatformTracing.settings-meta.xml |
SFDX source format convention for this Settings type. |
Only include enableAgentforcePlatformTracing field |
No other fields exist on this type. |
| Requires API v68.0+ | Older orgs reject the metadata type entirely. |
Gotchas
| Issue | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Deploy succeeds but tracing doesn't activate | Org lacks PlatformObservability permission or Data Cloud is not provisioned. These are provisioned, not settable via metadata. |
AgentforcePlatformTracingSettings type not recognized |
Org or tooling is on API version < 68.0. Update sfdx-project.json sourceApiVersion. |
| User confuses this with Platform Tracing (TraceSpanEvent) | Clarify: this sends Agentforce agent execution spans to Data Cloud. For TraceSpanEvent publishing, use the platform-tracing-configure skill. |
Output Expectations
Deliverables:
settings/AgentforcePlatformTracing.settings-meta.xml
Before delivering, verify:
- XML namespace is exactly
http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata - File is named
AgentforcePlatformTracing.settings-meta.xml - Only
enableAgentforcePlatformTracingis present (no extra fields)
