10 Claude Use Cases for Admins, Red Team Agent: Native Pen Testing Coming

From the curator, Grzegorz Skaruz: It's already Tuesday evening here in Poland, but I made it in time. Another week, another pile of Salesforce news to sort through. Read the whole note

It's already Tuesday evening here in Poland, but I made it in time. Another week, another pile of Salesforce news to sort through. This edition leans heavy on AI, no surprise there. Claude keeps popping up everywhere, including some genuinely useful ways admins can start using it daily (with the usual caveat: don't blindly trust what it spits out). Then there's the native Red Team Agent Salesforce announced at Dreamforce, which could finally make penetration testing less of a luxury for orgs that never had the budget for it. Winter '27 is live too, and it's not one flashy headline feature this time but a bunch of smaller wins across data, security, and Flow Builder worth sharing with your team. And if you're using MCP or building AI agents, you'll want to know Salesforce is about to start charging for that access through Flex Credits. Worth understanding before November. Dig in below.

    Is Salesforce AI Pricing Encouraging Bad Architecture?

    Salesforce is pushing structured, secure ways for AI agents (like Claude or ChatGPT) to tap into its platform, using things like AIforce, MCP, and the Headless Toolkit. Makes sense - safer and easier to manage. But here's the catch: Salesforce also plans to charge Flex Credits whenever those AI agents actually use this proper, governed access via MCP or direct APIs. So companies end up with a financial reason to avoid the very method Salesforce says is the safest and cleanest. That could push people toward messier workarounds instead - meaning the pricing model might actually work against good AI architecture.

    Salesforce Anti-Patterns, Lars Malmqvist

    Lars Malmqvist's book on Salesforce anti-patterns is a solid read, even though it was written before AI took over the spotlight. It could've easily been a blog post, but Lars manages to stretch the content in a way that doesn't feel repetitive. Jokes aside, the book is genuinely useful - it highlights patterns that seem fine on the surface but can cause real trouble down the line. Basically: an anti-pattern looks like a good solution at first, but ends up biting you later in software projects.
