What is servicenow-api AGENTS.md?

Repository-specific instructions for a Python ServiceNow API project built with FastAPI, Pydantic, asynchronous tools, and agent libraries. They describe its server, agent, skills, MCP tools, API client, and request flow.

Use them to work on the API server, agent behavior, modular skills, MCP tool registration, validation, asynchronous execution, or external ServiceNow requests.

They show an agent how requests move through the project and identify the exact commands and architectural areas to consider when making changes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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	$0.04182	$0.04182
Opus 5	$0.02091	$0.02091
Sonnet 5	$0.00836	$0.00836
Haiku 4.5	$0.00418	$0.00418

Security

Grade A, and why

servicenow-api 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 4d 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

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 319 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Claude Code loads this file via CLAUDE.md (@AGENTS.md import) — the two stay in sync. Edit this file, not CLAUDE.md.

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.
