Sleep for the `reset` value in the `RateLimit` header after a 429, which the docs say beats `retry-after`\n3. Use cursors through advanced filtering or the event log for large pulls, since `_skip` has a per-resource ceiling\n4. Search the lead before `create_lead`, because there's no idempotency key and a retry makes a duplicate\n5. Expect `create_draft_email` to leave a draft, and tell the user to send it from Close\n\n### Salesforce API + MCP\n\n1. Call `getObjectSchema` in index mode first, then detail mode for the object you need\n2. Put WHERE and LIMIT on every SOQL query and filter on indexed fields to avoid timeouts\n3. Ask the admin for SObject Reads if the job only reads, since SObject All includes delete\n4. Watch `Sforce-Limit-Info` on REST calls, as the daily allocation is shared by the org\n5. Re-authorise if a token came from the beta service, because beta tokens don't work on GA\n\n## Other comparisons with Close API + MCP or Salesforce API + MCP\n\n- [Attio API + MCP vs Close API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/attio-vs-close.md)\n- [Attio API + MCP vs Salesforce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/attio-vs-salesforce.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs Copper API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-copper.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs folk API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-folk.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs Freshsales API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-freshsales.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs HubSpot API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-hubspot-mcp.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs Pipedrive API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-pipedrive.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs Streak API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-streak.md)\n- [Close API + MCP vs Twenty API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/close-vs-twenty.md)\n- [Copper API vs Salesforce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/copper-vs-salesforce.md)\n- [folk API + MCP vs Salesforce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/folk-vs-salesforce.md)\n- [Freshsales API vs Salesforce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/freshsales-vs-salesforce.md)\n- [HubSpot API + MCP vs Salesforce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hubspot-mcp-vs-salesforce.md)\n- [Pipedrive API + MCP vs Salesforce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/pipedrive-vs-salesforce.md)\n- [Salesforce API + MCP vs Streak API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/salesforce-vs-streak.md)\n- [Salesforce API + MCP vs Twenty API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/salesforce-vs-twenty.md)\n",
