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.
