WHAT IT DOES

What get_scheduled_job does on ServiceNow MCP Server

RISK

Why get_scheduled_job is rated Low

It is a straightforward read operation that returns information based on sys_id or name lookup. Severity is low because exposure of this tool alone does not enable destructive or consequential actions—it only reveals job configuration details.

From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate retrieval of details: 'Get full details of a scheduled job'. The verb 'get' and 'details' are purely informational with no modification or execution of the job itself.
