WHAT IT DOES

What create_script_include does on ServiceNow MCP Server

AI agents invoke create_script_include to trigger actions in ServiceNow MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why create_script_include is rated High

Creating a script include stores and enables execution of arbitrary server-side JavaScript in the ServiceNow platform. Although the act of creation is a Write, the payload is executable code that can be triggered by other scripts and server processes, making this effectively an Execute-category action. Misuse could introduce malicious server-side logic with broad blast radius across the platform.

From the tool's definition 'Create a new script include' — script includes are server-side JavaScript code that can be invoked by other scripts; requires SCRIPTING_ENABLED=true

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_script_include safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ServiceNow MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_script_include, this is the rule to start with:

create_script_include Rate-limited

create_script_include stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
