WHAT IT DOES

What list_risk_statements does on ServiceNow-MCP

AI agents call list_risk_statements to retrieve information from ServiceNow-MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_risk_statements is rated Low

This tool retrieves and queries data from the Risk Statement library (sn_risk_definition) without side effects. It performs a read-only operation similar to search, list, or fetch operations. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only retrieve risk statement information, which poses no security or operational risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_risk_statements' and description 'List the Risk Statement library' indicate retrieval of existing risk descriptions with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
