servicenow-platform-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

servicenow-platform-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Xerrion/servicenow-platform-mcp. It costs 748 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for an asynchronous Python server that lets coding agents work with ServiceNow data and schemas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, testing, formatting, or type-checking this ServiceNow integration. ServiceNow is a platform for managing business workflows and records.
Why use it?
It gives agents the project's setup, dependencies, configuration, and code-checking rules, reducing guesswork when changing or running the server.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is Xerrion/servicenow-platform-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on servicenow-platform-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything servicenow-platform-mcp configures →

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

servicenow-platform-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.

Agent guide

This repository provides a Python MCP server for ServiceNow. The installed entry point is servicenow_mcp.server:main. Python 3.14 is the minimum supported version; the local mise configuration selects Python 3.15.

Start here

  • Check the branch and working tree before editing. Preserve changes made by others. Work on a feature branch, not main or master.
  • Trace the affected behavior through the code and tests before changing it. Keep the change focused and update documentation when behavior changes.
  • Use docs/wiki/Development.md for the development workflow and docs/wiki/Architecture.md for the module boundaries.
  • For ServiceNow documentation needed during a review, use docs/ServiceNowDocs/. The local openapi-specs/ directory contains ServiceNow REST API specifications. Check their scope and version before relying on them.

Implementation boundaries

  • Put operation validation, orchestration, and result assembly in src/servicenow_mcp/capabilities/. MCP adapters belong in src/servicenow_mcp/mcp/tools/; REST clients and shared metadata belong in src/servicenow_mcp/platform/. See the development guide before adding a capability or tool.
  • When changing an MCP tool contract, check its inputs, outputs, annotations, and tests/fixtures/native_tool_schemas.json. Exercise the registered tool through the MCP dispatcher when its wire behavior matters. mise run schemas regenerates the fixture; review the resulting diff.
  • For write workflows, preserve the preview and apply safeguards. A preview must make no upstream write, and an apply token must permit at most one change request. Test relevant failure and stale-state paths.
  • Keep credentials, authorization data, and personal data out of source, fixtures, and logs. Treat live instance data as sensitive.

Checks

Run commands from the repository root. Use the existing environment; ask before installing tools or syncing dependencies.

  • Markdown changes: run mise run check:markdown and check affected links and examples.
  • Python changes: run mise run lint:python and mise run typecheck:python.
  • Behavior changes: run focused tests, then UV_NO_SYNC=1 mise run test for the offline suite.
  • Cross-stack changes: run mise run check and UV_NO_SYNC=1 mise run test.

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.
