AI agents call snow_discover_schedules to retrieve information from Serac without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves/queries schedule data from the ServiceNow instance. 'Discovers' indicates a read-only operation with no side effects. Low severity as it only exposes schedule metadata.
