WHAT IT DOES

What list_soap_message_functions does on ServiceNow-MCP

AI agents call list_soap_message_functions 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_soap_message_functions is rated Low

This is a Read operation—it queries and retrieves information about available SOAP message functions without creating, modifying, executing, or deleting data. However, severity is elevated to medium because knowing available SOAP functions could facilitate reconnaissance for subsequent exploitation if an attacker gains control of the AI agent, and SOAP endpoints in ServiceNow may interact with sensitive business…

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_soap_message_functions' and description 'List SOAP Message Functions' indicate retrieval of metadata about SOAP operations with no modification or execution of those operations.
