## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_flow_executions",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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 own definition: "Tool performs 'List recent executions of a flow' - a retrieval operation that queries flow execution history and status without modifying data."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_flow_executions": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
