- 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

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_ai_agents",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why list_ai_agents is rated Low

This is a read-only operation that retrieves information about AI agent definitions. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not delete anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker gains visibility into agent configurations but cannot directly alter system state or access underlying data through this tool alone.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_ai_agents' and description 'List AI agent definitions' indicate a retrieval operation that queries or enumerates existing AI agent configurations without modifying, executing, or deleting data."

## Use case

AI agents call list_ai_agents 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": {
    "list_ai_agents": {}
  }
}
```

## For agents

This record is a snapshot. Live verdicts and the full registry:

- Check every server in your MCP config at once: `npx -y policylayer stack`
- Vet a server before you add it: install the mcp-precheck skill — `npx skills add https://policylayer.com` (skill text: https://policylayer.com/skill.md)
- Query the registry over MCP: endpoint `https://api.policylayer.com/mcp` — tools `check_mcp_server`, `check_mcp_stack`, `check_tool`, `search_registry`, `get_change_events`
