Get aggregate support case metrics — case counts grouped by status and priority for a team dashboard view
sf_cases_by_status
Returns cases sorted by priority then creation date. Use for support queue management: "how many new cases are there?", "show escalated cases", or for case workload analysis by status. Get all Salesforce cases at a specific status for queue analysis — New, Working, Escalated, or Closed
sf_create_case
Subject is required. Status defaults to "New". Priority: High, Medium, Low. Origin: Web, Phone, Email. Link to a customer via contactId and their company via accountId (both use 18-char Salesforce IDs). Cases track the complete lifecycle of a customer support issue.
