Platform Tracing Configure

Generates the EventSettings metadata file to flip the Platform Tracing toggle on or off, which controls whether TraceSpanEvent gets published to Event Monitoring. You'll need the PlatformTracing org permission (it's provisioned, not something you set) and API version 68.0 or higher, otherwise the setting deploys but does nothing. The skill only touches the enablePlatformTracing field and leaves other EventSettings alone, which is the right call since those belong to other teams. If you're looking for Agentforce agent tracing to Data Cloud, that's a different skill. This one is narrow by design: turn on trace spans, turn them off, done.

Platform Tracing — Configure

Generate EventSettings metadata to enable or disable the Platform Tracing toggle, which controls whether TraceSpanEvent is published at a sample rate. This modifies a single field (enablePlatformTracing) within the existing EventSettings metadata type.

Scope

In scope: Generating Event.settings-meta.xml with the enablePlatformTracing field to enable or disable TraceSpanEvent publishing.
Out of scope: Agentforce agent tracing to Data Cloud (use platform-tracing-agentforce-configure). Other EventSettings fields (enableDeleteMonitoringData, enableLoginForensics, etc.) owned by other teams. Event Log Files. Change Data Capture.
