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.

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 | $0.00179 | $0.01324 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00072 | $0.00530 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00036 | $0.00265 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00132 |
Grade A, and why
servicenow-app-engine 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 8d 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 — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ServiceNow App Engine (scoped apps as metadata-as-code)
A scoped ServiceNow application is a namespaced bundle of metadata records (tables, rules,
ACLs, menus, catalog items…). App Engine Studio (AES) / Application Studio build that
bundle through a UI; this skill builds the same bundle as Fluent code and reconciles
the two views. It defers the build/deploy/test mechanics to servicenow-sdk-lifecycle.
When to use
- Designing a scoped app's shape: scope,
x_prefix,now.config.json, file layout. - Mapping an App Engine Studio artifact to the Fluent API that produces it.
- Assembling a coherent app from multiple artifacts (data model + logic + security + nav + request UX).
- Packaging/publishing a scoped app across instances.
When NOT to use
- CLI lifecycle mechanics (init/build/transform/deploy/ATF) →
servicenow-sdk-lifecycle. - Flow Designer flows/subflows/actions →
servicenow-workflow-studio. - Reading the raw samples →
servicenow-sdk-docs. - Ad-hoc live record CRUD →
servicenow-table-api.
Prerequisites
- A Fluent project (scaffold via
servicenow-sdk-lifecycle→references/project-init.md). - For packaging/publish: the
servicenow-apiMCP server via themcp-clientskill. Env + tag matrix:agent-tools/mcp-client/references/servicenow-api.md.
The mental model
Everything in a scoped app is a record in a sys_* table, namespaced to a scope.
Fluent constructs (Table, BusinessRule, Acl, ApplicationMenu, ServiceCatalog,
Record, …) are typed emitters for those records. "Build the app as code" = author those
constructs, then ship them via the SDK lifecycle.
Reference map — open just-in-time
references/scoped-app-anatomy.md—sys_scope, thex_<prefix>_namespace,now.config.json,package.json, and thesrc/fluent/layout. Read first when starting or structuring an app.references/app-engine-studio-concepts.md— what AES / Application Studio are, their artifact vocabulary (data tables, experiences, logic-and-automation, security), and how a code-first project coexists with them. Read when reconciling with the UI.references/metadata-as-code-mapping.md— the master table: App Studio artifact → Fluent API → canonicalservicenow-sdk-docssample. Read when you know what you want and need the construct + example.references/full-app-walkthrough.md— assemble a working app end-to-end (table + business rule + ACL + application menu + catalog item), cross-referencing the samples. Read when building a whole app rather than one artifact.references/packaging-and-publish.md— package and promote the scoped app across instances viaservicenow_cicd+servicenow_update_sets. Read at release time.
What ships with it
6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

servicenow-app-engine is a skill published in the GitHub repository Knuckles-Team/servicenow-api (20 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 179 tokens to every session and 1,324 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-30.
