We’re thrilled to announce the launch of MuleSoft for Agentforce: API Catalog. API Catalog makes it seamless for developers and admins to use external APIs in Agentforce from MuleSoft, Salesforce, and Heroku – all while helping ensure enterprise requirements for security and governance are met.
You can now seamlessly leverage MuleSoft APIs to extend Agent actions across the enterprise. API Catalog fosters collaboration and accelerates development, while helping maintain robust security measures.
Many enterprises have lost control of their API estate. Their APIs are unsecured, lack proper guardrails, or weren’t implemented with best practices. It’s hard for developers to determine which APIs are safe and sanctioned for them to build with. And with the average organization using hundreds of APIs, it’s hard for developers to even know what APIs exist.
MuleSoft API Catalog is the cornerstone for connectivity across Salesforce. Salesforce developers and administrators can effortlessly access relevant APIs through a unified interface in Salesforce. They can use these APIs in multiple ways:
- Agent Topics and Actions: Topics are metadata with instructions that tell agents what they can do. They can contain APIs and Actions on external systems. You can now define Topics in Anypoint Code Builder through Topic Center. APIs that have been enabled for Topics can be activated and managed from the API Catalog. Once activated, you can seamlessly use these Topics and Actions in Agent Builder.
- Invocable Actions: API Catalog lets you use APIs to define actions that can be reused across Salesforce. You can use these actions as steps in Flow, as well as within Apex code.
API Catalog seamlessly integrates with MuleSoft’s API Management solution. This ensures that every API used in Agentforce and Salesforce is managed and secured. Your teams can design, build, develop, and protect your APIs for AI agents on a single platform. This provides the best experience for developers while also helping your enterprise ensure quality and security requirements are met at every stage of the development lifecycle.
Salesforce admins and developers no longer need to guess which APIs are safe to build with. API Catalog allows your MuleSoft team to tailor a curated set of APIs for agent consumption. This promotes engagement and encourages reuse of existing API investments across Salesforce.
