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

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

## Why list_import_sets is rated Low

This tool retrieves or queries import set records with optional filtering parameters. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. It falls squarely within the Read category as a data retrieval function. Severity is low because listing data poses minimal risk unless the data itself is highly sensitive, but the tool itself is a passive query.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_import_sets' and description 'List Import Sets with optional filter by state or staging table' clearly indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing data without modifying, deleting, or executing external actions."

## Use case

AI agents call list_import_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.

## 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_import_sets": {}
  }
}
```
