## Description

List available Salesforce object types (SObjects) in the org. Use when the user references an object type you're not sure about, or to discover custom objects. Custom objects end in `__c`. Standard CRM objects: Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, Case, Task, Event, Campaign, User. Use **Describe Object** to get field details for a specific object type. [See the documentation](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/resources_describeGlobal.htm)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `filter` | `string` | No | Optional keyword to filter object names and labels (case-insensitive). For example, custom returns only custom objects, account returns Account-related objects. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "salesforce_rest_api",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "salesforce_rest_api-list-objects",
  arguments: {
    filter: "Filter",
  },
})
```

**TypeScript**

```ts
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "salesforce_rest_api-list-objects",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    salesforce_rest_api: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    filter: "Filter",
  },
})

console.log(result)
