WHAT IT DOES

What get_ui_action does on NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit

AI agents call get_ui_action 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_ui_action is rated Low

This tool reads and returns details and script content of a UI Action. It is a read/fetch operation with no side effects. However, the fact that it retrieves executable script content (potentially sensitive business logic) raises the severity to medium, as an attacker could use it for reconnaissance to craft further attacks. The SCRIPTING_ENABLED flag also implies script content is sensitive.

From the tool's definition 'Get full details and script of a UI Action' — retrieves/reads data including scripts
