Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.01740 | $0.01740 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00870 | $0.00870 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00348 | $0.00348 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00174 | $0.00174 |
Grade A, and why
servicenow-mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts

What this project is
A standalone MCP server (stdio) exposing the ServiceNow Table, Aggregate, and schema APIs
as tools, with an in-process update-set write gate. TypeScript ESM, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
1.x, zod, Vitest. It is instance-agnostic: one server process per ServiceNow instance.
Architecture map
| Path | Responsibility |
|---|---|
src/index.ts |
stdio entry: load env → config → client → server. Fatal errors to stderr, exit 1 |
src/config.ts |
Env parsing. Fail fast with ALL problems aggregated in one ConfigError |
src/errors.ts |
SnApiError + toToolErrorResult() — the only place tool error results are shaped |
src/client/auth.ts |
AuthStrategy = function returning headers. v1: basicAuth. Extend here for OAuth/session |
src/client/snClient.ts |
REST client: retry (429/5xx, Retry-After), pagination (Link/X-Total-Count), timeout, error normalization, schema hierarchy walk |
src/gate.ts |
getCurrentUpdateSet / assertWritable / setCurrentUpdateSet / assertPrecheckToken — the write gate |
src/docs/token.ts |
HMAC-SHA256 precheck token sign/verify (node:crypto, per-process secret, ~10 min TTL) |
src/docs/precheck.ts |
analyzePrecheck(table, operation) — risk rules + best-practice matching + token issuance |
src/docs/llmsIndex.ts |
Fetch/parse/search the ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs llms.txt index (injectable fetchFn) |
src/docs/fetchDoc.ts |
Fetch a single doc's markdown by path, with attribution and structured errors (injectable fetchFn) |
src/docs/bestPractices/*.ts |
Curated, authored-in-repo best-practice content (BEST_PRACTICES: BestPracticeEntry[]) |
src/tools/*.ts |
One module per domain; each exports register*Tools(server, client, cfg) |
src/server.ts |
buildServer(cfg, client): read tools always; write tools ONLY when cfg.allowWrites |
test/unit/ |
Unit tests with injected fake fetch (no network) |
test/integration/ |
Real MCP client ↔ server over InMemoryTransport, mocked SnClient |
test/live/ |
Env-gated smoke tests against a real instance; never mutate data |
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
