What list_vulnerabilities does on NowAIKit — ServiceNow AI Toolkit
AI agents call list_vulnerabilities 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_vulnerabilities is rated Low
This tool retrieves vulnerability data from a module without creating, modifying, deleting, executing code, or moving money. It is a read-only query operation. The blast radius is minimal since no actions are performed on the system—only data is fetched. Confidence is high because the verb 'list' and the read-only nature of vulnerability lookups are clear indicators of a Read classification.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_vulnerabilities' with description 'List vulnerability entries from the Vulnerability Response module' indicates a retrieval/query operation with no modifications or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_vulnerabilities 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_vulnerabilities, this is the rule to start with:
list_vulnerabilities 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_vulnerabilities call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about list_vulnerabilities
List vulnerability entries from the Vulnerability Response module. 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_vulnerabilities: 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_vulnerabilities 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_vulnerabilities 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_vulnerabilities. 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_vulnerabilities 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.
