Salesforce Inspector Extension

The tool analyzes a Salesforce inspector extension to evaluate metadata integrity, security posture, and deployment readiness. It is intended for Salesforce admins, developers building or auditing extensions, and security/compliance teams during release governance or pre-install reviews. By focusing on packaging, metadata quality, API version alignment, permission surface, and observed usage signals, it helps teams identify risky configurations, determine compatibility with target orgs, and prioritize corrective actions to reduce deployment failures and security exposure.
It ingests extension_id, version, api_version, dependencies, and optional context such as repo_url and last_release_date, plus usage_metrics and org_region. Using a rule-based analysis, it assesses API compatibility, verifies that declared dependencies exist, flags deprecated components or misconfigurations, and evaluates potential security exposures inferred from metadata. The tool computes a risk_score and produces a structured report that groups findings by severity and impact, enabling objective decision-making in change control. Optional features include historical trend support and JSON export for automation.
Unique value lies in domain-specific scoring and governance-oriented outputs. It does not perform source code scanning but concentrates on integration metadata, packaging, and configuration aspects that influence security and reliability. The result is a prioritized remediation plan with concrete steps and exportable artifacts. Target users gain deploy confidence, shorter audit cycles, and a reproducible audit trail for Salesforce extension releases.
Use cases include pre-release extension reviews, post-deployment health checks, and vendor extension audits. Outputs support documentation, risk tracking, and compliance reporting, while the API-facing results can feed CI/CD pipelines and governance dashboards for ongoing quality assurance.
