Get both SLA views for a task-based Vulnerability Group (sn_vul_vulnerability) by VUL number
AI agents call get_group_sla to retrieve information from ServiceNow-MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves SLA information for a vulnerability group by querying the VUL number. It performs a query operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing external code. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only view SLA data they may already have access to, representing low risk. No side effects or irreversible actions are possible.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_group_sla' and description 'Get both SLA views for a task-based Vulnerability Group' indicate retrieval/querying of existing SLA data with no modification or deletion.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get both SLA views for a task-based Vulnerability Group (sn_vul_vulnerability) by VUL number. It is categorised as a Read tool in the ServiceNow-MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the ServiceNow- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_group_sla: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches ServiceNow-MCP. Nothing to install.
get_group_sla is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_group_sla rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_group_sla. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_group_sla is provided by the ServiceNow- MCP server (tedorigawa001/servicenow-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
