Salesforce tries to keep a lid on ‘agentic sprawl’ through MuleSoft Agent Fabric

Salesforce Inc. is attempting to tackle the growing challenge of artificial intelligence “agent sprawl” through the latest expansion of MuleSoft Agent Fabric, aiming to rein in the unchecked proliferation of autonomous systems operating across enterprises with limited oversight.

While some organizations have yet to deploy AI agents in any meaningful way, Salesforce says there are already hundreds of early adopters betting on the promise of agentic automation, and it believes that many more will do so in the coming years. According to data from International Data Corp., the number of deployed AI agents in the world will exceed 1 billion globally by 2029, representing a fourfold increase from 2025.
