WHAT IT DOES

What get_changeset does on NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit

AI agents call get_changeset 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 get_changeset is rated Low

This tool retrieves details about change sets or update sets in ServiceNow, which is fundamentally a read operation (no modification of data). However, severity is elevated to medium rather than low because: (1) changesets/update sets contain details about code, customizations, and configuration changes that could be sensitive; (2) the scripting requirement flag suggests this accesses powerful platform metadata; (3)…

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_changeset' and description 'Get details of an update set' indicate retrieval of changeset/update set information. The requirement 'SCRIPTING_ENABLED=true' suggests access to sensitive configuration data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_changeset 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 get_changeset, this is the rule to start with:

get_changeset Allowed

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_changeset": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit, apply this rule, and every get_changeset call is checked against it from then on.
