List vulnerability entries from the Vulnerability Response module
AI agents call list_vulnerabilities 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 retrieves vulnerability data without side effects. It performs a read-only operation consistent with listing or fetching records. While vulnerabilities are sensitive information, the tool itself does not modify, delete, or execute actions — it only exposes existing data.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_vulnerabilities' and description states it 'List vulnerability entries from the Vulnerability Response module' — a pure retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of code.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List vulnerability entries from the Vulnerability Response module. 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 list_vulnerabilities: 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.
list_vulnerabilities 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 list_vulnerabilities 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 list_vulnerabilities. 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.
list_vulnerabilities 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.
