List license entitlements/allocations
AI agents call license_entitlements to retrieve information from ServiceNow MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a straightforward data retrieval operation (list/query) with no side effects. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could gain visibility into license allocations but cannot alter licensing status, consume licenses, or trigger financial transactions.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'license_entitlements' and description 'List license entitlements/allocations' indicate a read-only query operation that retrieves existing license data without modification or deletion.
