Why list_change_requests needs a policy

This tool queries and returns change request data without creating, modifying, or deleting any records. It performs a read-only operation on ServiceNow's change management module. The optional filtering and pagination parameters are standard query parameters that do not introduce destructive or execution-based behavior.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_change_requests' and description 'Lists change requests with optional filtering and pagination' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

How to control list_change_requests

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Snow, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_change_requests:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_change_requests": {}
  }
}

list_change_requests is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Snow — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
