List scheduled jobs
AI agents call scheduled_job_list 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 retrieves and displays information about scheduled jobs without triggering, modifying, or deleting them. It is a read-only operation with minimal side effects. The low severity reflects that listing jobs exposes metadata but does not alter system state or permit execution of those jobs.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'scheduled_job_list' and description 'List scheduled jobs' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no modification or execution of jobs.
