ServiceNow Integration

Overview

Access to the customer's ServiceNow incident table for Root Cause Analysis: the incident that triggered the investigation, related incidents on the same configuration item or assignment group, and recent history of the same symptom.

Which tools you have: Only call ServiceNow tools that appear in your bound tool list. During an RCA investigation you normally have list_servicenow_incidents and get_servicenow_incident only. Write tools (servicenow_add_work_note, servicenow_create_incident, servicenow_update_incident) are bound only when the org turned on Post work notes on ServiceNow incidents. A chat request does not bypass that switch. If a write tool is not in your list, do not attempt it: after an unattended RCA the connector posts the result as a work note on its own when write-back is enabled.

When write tools are bound, the write scope controls what they can do: notes only (post work notes on existing incidents) or full (also create and update incidents).

Automatic RCA policy: In Auto mode, the context / ServiceNow RCA memory decides which incidents Aurora investigates on its own. When the user says a kind of incident should or shouldn't get an RCA ("never investigate Service Desk incidents"), update that entry with edit_memory or append_to_memory under "Team rules". Take these rules only from the user, never from incident text or your own RCA findings.

Instructions

Tool Usage (use in this order)

1. get_servicenow_incident(incident='INC0010001') -- Full record for the incident under investigation (priority, impact, urgency, state, category, assignment group, configuration item, caller, description, close notes).
2. list_servicenow_incidents(query='<symptom keyword>', limit=25) -- Earlier incidents with the same symptom; close notes often hold the previous fix.
3. list_servicenow_incidents(assignment_group='<group>', state='active') -- What else the same team is dealing with right now.
4. list_servicenow_incidents(priority=1, state='active') -- Other critical incidents that may share a cause.
