While the buzz around Salesforce and agentic platforms like AgentForce continues to grow, a crucial challenge remains under-discussed: execution. AI agents have quickly mastered natural language understanding and reasoning, but their ability to act—updating systems like SAP, creating Jira tickets, or handling legacy protocols—remains limited. The core issue? A gap between AI-driven intent and strict enterprise backend requirements.
Enter MuleSoft Winter ’26, now positioned as the execution backbone of the Agentic Enterprise. Where agentic systems represent the brain (managing context, reasoning, and intent), MuleSoft becomes the nervous system—ensuring that your AI’s decisions translate into reliable, compliant backend operations.
LLMs (Large Language Models) are notorious for “hallucinating” parameters or struggling with older protocols such as SOAP and OData. Without a smart, validating transformation layer like MuleSoft, risky payloads could threaten your backend integrity. Thus, autonomous agents don’t just require intelligence; they need a deterministic way to interact safely with APIs.
With the Winter ’26 update, APIs are being reimagined as agent skills. This means:
The new “Agent Fabric” control plane, layered on top of Anypoint Platform, provides:
Traditional LLM integrations required hardcoding tool definitions. The new model context protocol (MCP) revolutionizes this by adopting a client-host-server approach:
The evolution is clear: we’re not simply building REST endpoints for front-end apps anymore. We must create semantic interfaces and robust API documentation that machines can reliably interpret. The focus is no longer on static connections, but on crafting architecture that enables an autonomous, AI-driven workforce.

From my initial call with Spencer through project implementation with John and Evan, my experience with the SOLVD team was excellent. They were quick to understand our business needs, clear when explaining the reasoning behind proposed solutions, transparent when reporting on progress and timeline, and all around enjoyable to work with. Would highly recommend and looking forward to continue working with them in the future!
SOLVD was very straight forward with everything needed to complete the project. No surprises, no issues, and cost was aligned with the estimate. They made implementation easy and quick.
As a rule, I'm pretty stingy with my recommendations. So it's a pleasure for me to recommend Solvd as a top-flight Salesforce consultancy. Solvd recently led our company's conversion to the Lightning interface and did it on time, on budget and made it easy for me and my team. I know I'll use their services again, and am confident they can do the same for you.
