Note This feature does not draw down credits for AI usage if your org has Agentforce for Sales, Service, or Industry add-on license, or if your org has Agentforce 1 Edition for Sales, Service, or Industry. For more information on generative AI credit consumption, see [Metering for Agentforce and Generative AI Usage](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.generative_ai_usage_metering_logic.htm&type=5&language=en_US). Credits can still be consumed by data services in Data 360 and other related usage.

Agentforce Employee agents use generative AI and Data 360 to ingest, store, and process data. Before deployment, work with your Salesforce account team to confirm license availability. For more information about how usage is metered, see [Considerations for Agentforce Employee Agent](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.agent_employee_agent_considerations.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

Tip

This feature has access to Digital Wallet, a free account management tool that offers near real-time consumption data for enabled products across your active contracts. Access Digital Wallet and start tracking your org's usage. To learn more, see [About Digital Wallet](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.wallet_about.htm&language=en_US&type=5).

## Associated Standard Actions

These standard actions are associated with the Marketing Planning and Operations agent.

- Manage Marketing Planning Records
- Get Marketing Object Metadata and Planning Hierarchy
- Query Records

## Other Considerations

- The agent creates records only. It doesn't edit, delete, or re-parent the records that already exist.
- The agent creates programs and goals only. It doesn't create campaigns, tactics, or tasks.
- The agent creates records only at the levels where you're an allowed creator, which can be narrower than your assigned permissions.
- The agent needs at least one active hierarchy group before it can create or place records.

For more details about what the agent does, see [What the Marketing Planning and Operations Agent Does](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mktg_pln_oper_agent_about.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The Marketing Planning and Operations agent is a generative AI assistant that creates marketing programs and goals in conversation. Describe the plan that you want, and the agent builds it.").
