sn-impact

sn-impact is a skill for Claude Code from IvanBBaev/servicenow-mcp-ai. It costs 47 tokens per session (636 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only ServiceNow dependency analysis. ServiceNow is a platform for configuring business applications and their workflows; this skill finds what tables, fields, scripts, and automation depend on a selected item.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before renaming, deleting, or changing a ServiceNow table, field, script include, or business rule. It helps trace code references, related records, and automation.
Why use it?
Changing a shared table, field, or script can break unseen references. The analysis shows likely dependants and marks changes as safe, coordination-needed, or breaking.

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

sn-impact 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 3d 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.

sn-impact — who depends on this?

Read-only analysis through the ServiceNow MCP server.

When not to use

  • Something is already broken — start with sn-triage.
  • Making the change itself — use sn-safe-write once the impact is known.
  • A UI Builder page or experience — use sn-uib.
  • Hand-offs (where the client has the plugin's subagents): a wide sweep over many dependants goes to the sn-investigator subagent, which returns the evidence without flooding the conversation; once the change is planned, pass the plan preview to the sn-change-reviewer subagent.

Steps

  1. Packages: this skill calls tools from scripts, artifacts, flows and docs (the diagram), which the default discovery profile leaves off. Read enabledPackages in servicenow_get_status; for a missing package, enable it with the server's enable_package admin tool and tell the user, or ask the operator to add it to SN_TOOL_PACKAGES. A package listed in deniedPackages cannot be enabled — skip the steps that need it and report them as not checked.
  2. Identify the target exactly: servicenow_describe_table for a table or a field (type, reference, inheritance); servicenow_get_artifact or servicenow_explain_artifact for a script, UI policy, flow or other artefact.
  3. Where it is used: servicenow_where_used with kind table, field or script and the name. Set structural: true to add dictionary references, and scope to stay inside one application.
  4. Text references the structural pass cannot see: servicenow_search_code with the name (script includes, field names in GlideRecord calls).
  5. What runs on the table: servicenow_describe_table_logic and, for the operation you will change, servicenow_trace_table_event.
  6. Optional picture: servicenow_generate_er_diagram for the table and its neighbours.

Output

A list of dependants grouped by kind (reference fields, scripts, automation, flows), each with where it lives (scope, table, sys_id), and a risk call: safe, needs coordination, or breaking. Say which sources were unreadable — an absent dependant is not proof there is none.

sn-impact is a skill published in the GitHub repository IvanBBaev/servicenow-mcp-ai (8 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 636 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-27.
