Can I use this skill to save on Salesforce costs?

Yes, by using the start and stop scheduler features or setting a TTL (Time-To-Live), you can ensure sandboxes only run when needed, reducing consumption costs.

What is a Salesforce B2C On-demand sandbox?

An On-demand sandbox (ODS) is a flexible, consumption-based development environment for Salesforce B2C Commerce Cloud that can be created and destroyed via API or CLI.

Does it support custom OCAPI settings during creation?

Yes, you can define custom OCAPI settings, WebDAV permissions, and specific client IDs when provisioning a new sandbox.

Can Claude create sandboxes automatically?

No, this skill is strictly configured to only create or delete sandboxes when you provide an explicit request, as these actions may incur costs or result in data loss.

What ID formats are supported for sandbox commands?

You can use either the full 36-character UUID or the shorthand realm-instance format (e.g., zzzv-123 or zzzv_123).
