Retrieving Datacloud

When you need to query or search Salesforce Data Cloud, this skill handles sync SQL, async queries, vector search, and metadata introspection through the sf data360 CLI plugin. It knows Data Cloud SQL isn't SOQL and runs a readiness classifier before trying anything heavy. The workflow is practical: describe tables before guessing columns, use sqlv2 or async for larger result sets, and only touch vector or hybrid search when the index lifecycle is healthy. One honest take: the prefilter gotchas on hybrid search and the read-only HNSW parameters feel like production scars encoded into guardrails, which makes this more useful than generic query documentation.
