AI agents call snow_get_event_correlation 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.
This tool retrieves and queries event correlation data from ServiceNow, returning pre-computed alert groupings. There are no side effects, no data modifications, no code execution, and no resource consumption beyond read access. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent could only retrieve correlation information already available in the system.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'snow_get_event_correlation' uses 'get' verb; description states 'Get event correlation results showing how events are grouped into alerts' — retrieval and display of existing correlation data with no modification or execution.

snow_get_event_correlation 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 snow_get_event_correlation 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.
