Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

automation-flow-generate scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Goal

Generate Salesforce Flow metadata by running the required 3-step MCP pipeline (fetchGroundedObjectMetadata → flowElementSelection → flowElementGeneration) and return the flow XML.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Create any type of Flow (Screen, Autolaunched, Record-Triggered, Scheduled)
  • Generate Flow metadata XML
  • Automate business processes without code
  • Build user-guided workflows or background automation
  • Troubleshoot deployment errors related to Flows

Specification

Flow Metadata Specification

Overview

Salesforce Flows are powerful automation tools that enable complex business process automation without code. Flows can collect and process data through interactive screens, execute logic and calculations, manipulate records, call external services, and trigger based on various events. Flow types include Screen Flows (user-guided), Autolaunched Flows (background processing), Record-Triggered Flows (database events) and Scheduled Flows (time-based).

Flow Generation Pipeline

MANDATORY: You MUST follow this exact 3-step pipeline. No exceptions. No shortcuts. No skipping steps. Do NOT manually create flow metadata XML or attempt to generate flow metadata outside of this pipeline. Do NOT attempt to use any other tool, API, or method to generate flow metadata. This pipeline is the ONLY supported way to generate flows. Any deviation will produce invalid or broken metadata.

MCP Connection Details

All 3 pipeline steps MUST be called using this MCP tool:

  • MCP Tool Name: execute_metadata_action
  • The action parameter selects which pipeline step to run: "fetchGroundedObjectMetadata", "flowElementSelection", or "flowElementGeneration"

Flow generation is a strict 3-step pipeline. ALL steps must be called in order. Every step is required. There is no alternative approach — this is the only way to generate flow metadata:

Step 1 (REQUIRED): Fetch Grounded Object Metadata (fetchGroundedObjectMetadata)

Fetches org schema metadata relevant to the flow generation request. This step is mandatory and must always be called first.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
