What list_flow_executions does on NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit
AI agents call list_flow_executions 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.
Why list_flow_executions is rated Low
This is a Read operation as it retrieves and returns information about flow executions without causing side effects. Severity is medium because understanding flow execution patterns and failures could inform social engineering or help identify systems under monitoring, though the tool itself only accesses metadata about past executions rather than sensitive business data directly.
From the tool's definition Tool performs 'List recent executions of a flow' - a retrieval operation that queries flow execution history and status without modifying data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_flow_executions 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 list_flow_executions, this is the rule to start with:
list_flow_executions is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 list_flow_executions call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about list_flow_executions
List recent executions of a flow with status (completed, error, running). It is categorised as a Read tool in the NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_flow_executions: 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.
list_flow_executions is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_flow_executions 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 list_flow_executions. 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.
list_flow_executions 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.
