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

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

## Why list_supported_artifacts is rated Low

This is a read-only query operation that returns metadata about supported artifact types and their syncable fields. It has no side effects, does not execute code, modify data, or trigger external operations. The blast radius is minimal—an agent learning about available artifact types and field mappings poses negligible risk.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool 'list_supported_artifacts' explicitly 'list[s] the artifact types (tables)' and describes 'which fields sync' — purely informational retrieval of schema/configuration metadata with no modification or execution."

## Use case

AI agents call list_supported_artifacts 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_supported_artifacts": {}
  }
}
```
