WHAT IT DOES

What find_update_sets does on NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit

AI agents call find_update_sets 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 find_update_sets is rated Low

Even though find_update_sets 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

The rule that runs find_update_sets safely

find_update_sets Allowed

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