# AgentforceDataProviding

## Overview

Protocol for providing data access functionality to the Agentforce SDK. This protocol serves as the bridge between the Agentforce SDK and your application's data layer, typically connecting to Salesforce APIs. Implementations should provide access to Salesforce records, object metadata, and query capabilities while respecting security, caching, and performance requirements.

## Declaration

```swift
protocol AgentforceDataProviding
```
