WHAT IT DOES

What advance_hr_case does on NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit

AI agents call advance_hr_case to retrieve information from NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why advance_hr_case is rated Low

Even though advance_hr_case only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

advance_hr_case Allowed

advance_hr_case is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
