List mobile layout configurations
AI agents call list_mobile_layouts 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 queries and returns existing mobile layout configurations from ServiceNow without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any changes. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation with minimal risk if misused by an AI agent, as the worst outcome would be unauthorized access to configuration metadata.
