List script includes from ServiceNow
AI agents call list_script_includes to retrieve information from ServiceNow MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool lists (retrieves) script includes stored in ServiceNow without executing them, modifying them, or triggering side effects. This is a read-only query operation. While script includes are code artifacts, merely listing them does not execute or modify anything.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_script_includes' and description 'List script includes from ServiceNow' indicate a retrieval/query operation with no modification or execution of scripts.
