## TL;DR

The agent hardcoded the object's API name and a rename broke every call. Resolve object names dynamically: describe the org at startup, map logical names to current API names, and fail fast with a clear message if an object is missing. Names are configuration, not code.

## Error

```text
[ {
  "message" : "sObject type 'OldObject__c' is not supported.",
  "errorCode" : "INVALID_TYPE"
} ]
```

## Steps

1. Confirm the rename: describe the org and find the object's new API name. Expected: you see the current name.
2. Update the agent's object-name configuration to the new name. Expected: calls succeed again.
3. Better: make the agent read object names from config or describe at startup, never from hardcoded strings. Expected: the next rename is a config change, not a code fix.
4. Add a startup check that verifies every configured object exists via describe. Expected: fast, clear failure instead of mid-run breakage.
5. Watch for managed package namespace changes too; they rename API names the same way. Expected: no surprise breakage on package upgrades.

## When to use

- Calls fail with INVALID_TYPE after working previously.
- An admin renamed a custom object.
- After managed package upgrades.

## When not to use

- Field renames (same principle, different level).
- INVALID_FIELD errors (fields, not objects).

## Tool compatibility

- Salesforce describe API; agent configuration.
- Custom and managed-package objects.

## Variant phrasings

### sObject type not supported

The name is wrong; re-describe.

### INVALID_TYPE after rename

Update the name mapping.

## Why it happens

API names are the true identifiers, and they change on rename. Hardcoded names bake a point-in-time schema into the agent, so any rename breaks it.

## Edge cases

- Labels can stay the same while API names change; always check the API name.
- Deleted objects also give INVALID_TYPE; distinguish rename from delete via describe.
- Sandbox renames do not propagate to production; keep per-org config.
