Apex — 147 Operations for AI Agents

This page is the canonical reference an AI coding agent uses to refactor, query, and analyze Apex code through the act MCP server. 147 operations available: 73 refactor, 18 query, 42 analysis, 14 verification. Each operation is callable from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, or any MCP-compatible agent host. Click any operation for a stable anchor link suitable for citation.

Refactor

Operation	Description
`add-braces-to-statement`	Add braces to braceless if/for/while statement

`add-readonly-to-field`	Add final modifier to field
`add-security-check`	Add CRUD/FLS security check before DML or field access
`add-soql-exception-handling`	Wrap SOQL query in try-catch(QueryException)
`add-soql-result-check`	Add null/empty check after SOQL query result
`add-sosl-exception-handling`	Wrap SOSL query in try-catch(Exception)
`add-test-isolation`	Add @isTest(SeeAllData=false) to test class or method
`add-try-catch-block`	Wrap statement in try-catch block
`add-using-statement`	Add import directive for type
`change-access-modifier`	Change public/private/protected/global visibility
`change-method-modifiers`	Add or remove method modifiers (static, virtual, override, abstract)
`change-method-signature`	Rename method, reorder/add/remove parameters
`convert-hardcoded-id-to-constant`	Extract hardcoded Salesforce ID to named constant
`convert-if-to-switch`	Convert chain of if-else-if to switch statement
`convert-soql-string-to-bound-variable`	Convert hardcoded string in SOQL WHERE to bound variable
`convert-string-concatenation-to-format`	Convert string concatenation to String.format()
`convert-string-literal-to-format`	Convert String.format() back to concatenation
`convert-switch-to-if`	Convert switch statement to if-else-if chain
`create-field-from-parameter`	Promote constructor parameter to class field
`extract-interface`	Extract interface from class methods
`extract-method`	Extract code block into new method with parameter inference
`extract-trigger-logic-to-handler`	Extract trigger body logic to a handler class
`extract-variable`	Extract expression into new local variable
`extract_function`	Extract a code selection into a new function — automatically infers parameters, return types, and inserts the call site. Use instead of manually cutting/pasting code. Works without LSP; LSP improves type inference. Params: file (string), new_name (string), start_line (u32), start_column (u32), end_line (u32), end_column (u32) [, preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
`extract_variable`	Extract an expression into a named variable — inserts the declaration and replaces the expression with the variable name. Works without LSP. Params: file (string), new_name (string), start_line (u32), start_column (u32), end_line (u32), end_column (u32) [, preview (bool)]
`generate-abstract-method`	Generate abstract method declaration in abstract class
`generate-batch-class`	Generate Database.Batchable class skeleton
`generate-class`	Generate new class skeleton
`generate-constant`	Generate private static final constant
`generate-constructor`	Generate default or parameterized constructor
`generate-custom-exception`	Generate custom exception class extending Exception
`generate-equals-method`	Generate equals() override for value comparison
`generate-exception-handler`	Generate handleException() method in class
`generate-field`	Generate new field in class
`generate-getter-setter`	Generate getter and/or setter methods for field
`generate-hashcode-method`	Generate hashCode() method based on fields
`generate-interface`	Generate interface from class public methods
`generate-interface-method`	Generate method signature in interface
`generate-method`	Generate new method skeleton in class
`generate-override-method`	Create @Override method from parent interface
`generate-test-class`	Create test class with setup and teardown
`generate-test-method`	Generate @isTest void method with basic structure
`generate-tostring-method`	Generate toString() with all fields
`generate-trigger-handler`	Generate trigger handler class with before/after lifecycle methods
`inline`	Inline a variable, function, or method — replace every usage with its definition body, then remove the original. The inverse of extract. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file inlining. Params: file (string), symbol (string) [, line (u32), preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
`inline-method`	Replace method call with method body
`inline-variable`	Replace variable reference with its value
`insert_body`	Replace a function's implementation body with new code. AST-validated — rejects if the result has parse errors, so you can't accidentally break syntax. Use instead of manual text editing for function rewrites. Params: file (string), symbol (string), code (string) [, commit (bool)]
`move-dml-outside-loop`	Move DML from inside loop to after loop (bulkification)
`move-method`	Move method to another class with parameter adjustment
`move-soql-outside-loop`	Move SOQL query from inside loop to before loop (bulkification)
`move_symbol`	Move a function, class, or type to a different file and automatically update all imports across the codebase. Use instead of manually cut/paste + fixing imports. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file import updates. Params: file (string), symbol (string), destination (string) [, preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
`organize-using-statements`	Sort and deduplicate import directives
`recipe_run`	Run a codemod recipe: declarative match → transform → optional verify across modeled grammars. Preview lists matches; apply writes with optional E7 receipts and all-or-nothing rollback. Returns a per-site report.
`remove-dead-code`	Remove unreachable code after return/throw
`remove-method-parameter`	Remove parameter from method signature
`remove-readonly-from-field`	Remove final modifier from field
`remove-unnecessary-null-check`	Remove redundant null checks
`remove-unused-using-statement`	Remove import not used in file
`rename`	Rename a symbol and automatically update ALL references across the codebase. Safer and faster than find-and-replace — AST-aware, won't rename strings or comments. Works without LSP (single-file); LSP enables cross-file renames. Params: file (string), old_name (string), new_name (string) [, line (u32), column (u32), preview (bool), receipt (bool)]
`rename-identifier`	Rename variable, parameter, method, or class across all references
`rename-method-parameter`	Rename method parameter throughout its method body
`rename-type`	Rename type throughout the file
`replace-for-with-foreach`	Convert traditional for to enhanced for loop
`replace-foreach-with-for`	Convert enhanced for to traditional for loop
`replace-while-with-for`	Convert while loop to for loop
`simplify-conditional-expression`	Simplify ternary operator expression
`use-equals-instead-of-equality-operator`	Replace == with .equals() for String comparison
