## Summary

Agentforce faced a production problem: LLM-driven rendering could recognize a required form or regulated disclosure yet choose a different output because its reasoning was stochastic. The Agentforce Connections layer addresses this by separating probabilistic reasoning and orchestration from deterministic presentation: builders associate an action with a connection-specific response format through the render: directive, and the platform applies that format instead of asking the LLM to select a component. Multi-action, long-running, and supervised flows required the system to identify the configured action and render only after approval and execution. The same abstraction supports Lightning Web Components, third-party interfaces, and headless structured JSON outputs. Per-action, per-session event logs record the action, format, connection, and conversation point, providing auditable evidence that required rendering occurred.

## Context

Agentforce customers needed critical forms, disclosures, disclaimers, and other UX elements to render reliably every time. Stochastic LLM reasoning could produce different rendering decisions across otherwise similar interactions, while regulated customers also needed evidence that required experiences had appeared.

## Approach / What changed

The Agentforce Connections layer separates LLM reasoning from deterministic presentation. Builders associate an action with a connection-specific response format through the render: directive; the platform applies that format instead of delegating component selection to the LLM. The implementation also handles action sequencing, long-running and supervised actions, third-party interfaces, headless structured JSON, and per-action, per-session event logging.

## Takeaways

- The deterministic boundary applies only to the rendering decision; the LLM continues reasoning about the conversation and orchestrating actions.
- For multi-action, long-running, or supervised interactions, the configured output renders only after the associated action is identified, approved when required, and executed.
- Agentforce event logs capture the fired action, applied response format, connection, and conversation point at per-action and per-session levels for auditability.
