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. Warn about prerequisites — inform the user that this feature requires Data Cloud and the PlatformObservability org permission. 2. Read the template — load assets/AgentforcePlatformTracing template.xml . 3. Generate the settings file — replace {ENABLED} with true or false based on the user's desired state. 4. Place the file — output to settings/AgentforcePlatformTracing.settings meta.xml in 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.
