What create_ui_policy does on NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit
AI agents use create_ui_policy to create or update resources in NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit environment.
Why create_ui_policy is rated Medium
This tool creates new UI policies that control field behavior dynamically through scripting. While it modifies system configuration reversibly (policies can be updated or deleted), it does not delete data irreversibly.
From the tool's definition Tool name includes 'create' and description states 'Create a new UI Policy'; requires SCRIPTING_ENABLED flag indicating code execution capability
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_ui_policy safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_ui_policy, this is the rule to start with:
create_ui_policy stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit, apply this rule, and every create_ui_policy call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_ui_policy
Create a new UI Policy to control field behavior dynamically (requires SCRIPTING_ENABLED=true). It is categorised as a Write tool in the NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_ui_policy: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit. Nothing to install.
create_ui_policy is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_ui_policy rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_ui_policy. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
create_ui_policy is provided by the NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit MCP server (nowaikit). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
