platform-custom-report-type-generate

Creates and validates Salesforce report type XML that exposes selected fields across related objects.

When to use it

Use when authoring or validating custom report types, choosing reporting fields and joins, or troubleshooting report type metadata errors—not for editing existing reports or creating dashboards.

Give it a project and reporting requirements for a primary object; it authors and validates a custom report type metadata file, leaving deployment outside its scope.
