Salesforce AgentExchange is the trusted marketplace for finding, evaluating, and deploying ready-made AI agents and agentic components for Agentforce. If your team is moving from "we want AI agents" to "which agent do we actually install," this guide gives you a practical way to evaluate options before you commit.
AgentExchange is the agent-focused counterpart to the long-running Salesforce AppExchange. AppExchange still hosts managed packages and apps, while AgentExchange (launched in March 2025) is purpose-built for the agentic era: prebuilt agent actions, topics, prompt templates, and full agent templates from Salesforce and its partner ecosystem.
Buying an AI agent is not like buying a static app. An agent reads your data, takes actions on your behalf, and makes decisions inside live business workflows. That raises the stakes on security, data access, and governance — which is exactly what this buyer's guide focuses on.
You can browse the marketplace directly at agentexchange.salesforce.com, and you can see how a certified implementation partner is positioned on Vantage Point's AgentExchange listing.
What it is: Salesforce AgentExchange is the official marketplace for Agentforce agents, agent actions, topics, and prompt templates — many of them security-reviewed by Salesforce.
Who it matters for: CRM, RevOps, IT, and operations leaders at any organization rolling out Agentforce who need to extend agents without building everything from scratch.
What it helps you decide: Whether to install a prebuilt agent or component, and how to vet it on security, data access, AI governance, compatibility, and cost.
Why Vantage Point is relevant: Vantage Point is a certified Salesforce partner that helps teams evaluate AgentExchange solutions, configure them safely, and connect them to clean, governed data through Salesforce implementation and advisory and compliance and security solutions.
Salesforce AgentExchange is a marketplace where you can find and deploy prebuilt components that extend Agentforce, Salesforce's agentic AI platform. Instead of building every capability yourself, you install trusted building blocks created by Salesforce and its partners.
AgentExchange listings generally fall into a few categories:
Many listings turn existing assets — workflows, Apex, APIs, and prompt templates — into agent actions, and connect to native tools like Data 360, Slack, and MuleSoft. For the bigger picture of how these pieces fit, see our complete guide to the Salesforce Agentforce ecosystem.
AI agents only create value when they act on accurate data inside real workflows. AgentExchange matters because it shortens the path from idea to working agent while giving buyers a layer of trust they don't get from random downloads.
Three reasons it's worth your attention this year:
This is also where the old AppExchange instinct — "just install the highest-rated app" — breaks down. An agent that can read and write records and trigger actions needs more scrutiny than a static utility.

Use a consistent scorecard so every option is judged the same way. The table below maps the criteria that matter most for agentic solutions.
| Criterion | What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Security review | Is the listing security-reviewed by Salesforce? | Confirms the solution met baseline trust standards. |
| Data access scope | Which objects, fields, and API scopes does it request? | Limits over-permissioning and accidental exposure. |
| AI governance | Are guardrails, grounding, and audit logging in place? | Prevents wrong or non-compliant agent actions. |
| Compatibility | Which Agentforce edition and data model does it need? | Avoids surprises during install and rollout. |
| Vendor trust | Reviews, install base, support, and roadmap? | Signals reliability and long-term maintenance. |
| Pricing model | Flat fee, per user, or consumption/credit-based? | Agent usage can scale cost in ways apps don't. |
| Maintainability | Can your admins configure and extend it? | Keeps you from being locked into the vendor. |
Confirm the listing carries a Salesforce security review, then review exactly what data it touches. An agent should only access the records and fields it needs to do its job. If a listing asks for broad permissions it doesn't obviously require, treat that as a flag. Tight scoping is the heart of safe agent deployment and a core part of compliance and security solutions.
Look for grounding in trusted data, action approvals where appropriate, and audit logging. You want to know what the agent did, why, and on whose behalf. Strong governance is what separates a helpful agent from an unpredictable one.
Verify the Agentforce edition, any Data 360 dependency, and the data model the listing expects. An agent is only as good as the data underneath it, so weak data quality will undercut even a well-built component. Clean, connected data usually depends on solid system integration and data migration.

Salesforce AgentExchange is the official marketplace for Agentforce agents, agent actions, topics, and prompt templates. It lets teams find and deploy prebuilt, trusted components instead of building every agentic capability from scratch.
AppExchange hosts managed packages and apps, while AgentExchange is purpose-built for AI agents and agentic components for Agentforce. AppExchange still exists; AgentExchange is the agent-focused part of the Salesforce ecosystem, launched in 2025.
Listings go through a Salesforce security review, which sets a baseline level of trust. You should still review each solution's data access, permission scopes, and governance before deploying it in production.
Check the security review status, data access scope, AI guardrails, Agentforce compatibility, vendor reputation, support, and pricing model. Evaluating agents on data and governance — not just features — is what keeps deployments safe.
No. Agents act on your CRM data, so weak data quality leads to wrong or low-value actions. Cleaning and connecting your data first is essential before scaling any agent.
Pricing varies by listing — some are flat or per-user, and some are consumption or credit-based tied to agent usage. Because agent activity can scale, model expected usage before you commit so costs stay predictable.
Yes. Vantage Point helps organizations shortlist AgentExchange solutions, scope permissions, set governance, and deploy agents on a clean data foundation, then supports adoption and ongoing optimization.
