WHAT IT DOES

What list_ui_policies does on NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit

AI agents call list_ui_policies 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 list_ui_policies is rated Low

This is fundamentally a read operation that queries and retrieves UI policy configurations from ServiceNow. However, severity is elevated to 'medium' rather than 'low' because: (1) UI policies can expose sensitive field access patterns and business logic rules that could inform social engineering or targeted attacks, (2) the requirement for SCRIPTING_ENABLED=true suggests elevated privilege context, and (3)…

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_ui_policies' and description 'List UI Policies for a table' indicate data retrieval. Returns configuration information about field visibility, mandatory flags, and read-only rules without modifying state.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

list_ui_policies Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

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

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 list_ui_policies call is checked against it from then on.
