Building a Salesforce-to-LLM Integration With Scoped API Permissions

Description and use

<p>Connecting Salesforce to a large language model requires more than configuring an API key and sending customer records to an AI service. The integration must control which records and fields are accessible, protect credentials, minimize data sent to the model, and prevent AI-generated output from triggering unauthorized actions. CodingCops recognizes the importance of building secure, reliable AI integrations with carefully controlled data access.</p> <p>A production-ready design combines least-privilege OAuth permissions, Salesforce object and field security, record-level access controls,
