platform-metadata-retrieve

Retrieves metadata from a Salesforce org to your local project using sf project retrieve start. Supports multiple retrieval modes: all changes, by source directory, by metadata type (with wildcards), by manifest, or by package name.

Tool Restrictions

Use ONLY the Bash tool to execute sf project retrieve start. Do NOT use MCP tools — ignore them completely.

Scope

• In scope: Retrieving metadata via sf project retrieve start in all supported modes (all changes, source-dir, metadata type, manifest, package name), source and metadata format output
• Out of scope: Deploying metadata (use platform-metadata-deploy), listing metadata types, generating package.xml files, source tracking commands (sf project retrieve preview)
