get_script_includes
AI agents call get_script_includes to retrieve information from ServiceNow CMDB MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The name strongly implies fetching or retrieving script includes from ServiceNow CMDB—a read-only operation. Script includes in ServiceNow are reusable code libraries stored as configuration items. Retrieving them poses moderate risk if an AI agent uses the data maliciously (e.g., to understand internal business logic or identify vulnerabilities), but the tool itself does not execute, modify, or delete data.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_script_includes' indicates data retrieval; no modification, deletion, or execution keywords present. Description is empty, limiting certainty.
