WHAT IT DOES

What create_uib_data_broker does on ServiceNow MCP Server

AI agents use create_uib_data_broker to create or update resources in ServiceNow MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ServiceNow MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why create_uib_data_broker is rated Medium

This tool creates a new UI Builder data broker, which is a Write operation (creating a new configuration/resource in ServiceNow). The [Scripting] tag elevates severity because the data broker likely contains executable script logic that feeds data to UI pages, meaning a miscreated broker could inject malicious scripts or expose sensitive data to UI consumers.

From the tool's definition 'Create a UI Builder data broker' — creates a new resource; '[Scripting]' tag indicates scripted/code component is involved
