# get_license_optimization Analyze software license usage and recommend optimizations Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_license_optimization`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/get-license-optimization ## Facts - Tool: `get_license_optimization` - Server: ServiceNow MCP Server (`@aartiq/servicenow-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server.md - Install: `npx -y @aartiq/servicenow-mcp` - Homepage: https://github.com/aartiq/servicenow-mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity verified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_license_optimization", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_license_optimization is rated Low This tool retrieves license usage data and provides analytical insights/recommendations. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only generate incorrect optimization recommendations, which would not cause irreversible damage or trigger external systems. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_license_optimization' with description 'Analyze software license usage and recommend optimizations' indicates data analysis and recommendations only." ## Use case AI agents call get_license_optimization to retrieve information from ServiceNow MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches ServiceNow MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "get_license_optimization": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on ServiceNow MCP Server (364) - `delete_attachment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/delete-attachment.md - `delete_system_property` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/delete-system-property.md - `delete_uib_page` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/delete-uib-page.md - `remove_user_from_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/remove-user-from-group.md - `rollback_deployment` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/rollback-deployment.md - `commit_changeset` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/commit-changeset.md - `create_business_rule` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/create-business-rule.md - `create_flow_action` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/create-flow-action.md - `create_scheduled_job` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/create-scheduled-job.md - `create_script_include` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/create-script-include.md - `create_ui_action` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/create-ui-action.md - `execute_background_script` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/execute-background-script.md - `fire_event` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/fire-event.md - `ml_detect_anomalies` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/ml-detect-anomalies.md - `ml_train_anomaly_detector` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/ml-train-anomaly-detector.md - `ml_train_change_risk` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/ml-train-change-risk.md - `ml_train_incident_classifier` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/ml-train-incident-classifier.md - `publish_changeset` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/publish-changeset.md - `run_aggregate_query` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/run-aggregate-query.md - `run_atf_suite` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/run-atf-suite.md - `run_atf_test` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/run-atf-test.md - `run_discovery_scan` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/run-discovery-scan.md - `run_security_playbook` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/run-security-playbook.md - `run_transform_map` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/run-transform-map.md - `scan_vulnerabilities` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/scan-vulnerabilities.md - `switch_update_set` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/switch-update-set.md - `test_flow` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/test-flow.md - `trigger_agentic_playbook` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/trigger-agentic-playbook.md - `trigger_flow` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/trigger-flow.md - `trigger_scheduled_job` — Execute — https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server/trigger-scheduled-job.md - …and 334 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/servicenow-mcp-server.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
