## Facts

- Tool: `list_workspaces`
- Server: ServiceNow-MCP (`tedorigawa001/servicenow-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/tedorigawa001-servicenow-mcp.md
- Homepage: https://github.com/tedorigawa001/ServiceNow-MCP
- Risk category: Read (Low risk)
- Registry record: grade F, identity unverified
- Server rate-limited: no

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_workspaces",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why list_workspaces is rated Low

This tool performs a simple query/list operation to retrieve workspace metadata with no modification, deletion, or execution of code. The information exposed (workspace names and configurations) is typically accessible to authorized ServiceNow users for administrative purposes. The blast radius is minimal—an AI agent misusing this to enumerate workspaces causes no direct harm beyond potential reconnaissance.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'list_workspaces' and description 'List all configurable agent workspaces' indicate a retrieval operation that enumerates existing workspace configurations."

## Use case

AI agents call list_workspaces 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches ServiceNow-MCP:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_workspaces": {}
  }
}
```
