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.

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 5.1 | $0.00130 | $0.01510 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00065 | $0.00755 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00302 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00151 |
Grade A, and why
servicenow-cmdb 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 9d 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 — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ServiceNow CMDB
ITOM access to the ServiceNow CMDB (configuration items, classes, attributes, relationships) and CI Lifecycle Management (lifecycle status, actions, leases, and operator registration). Two condensed tools cover the two concerns.
When to use
- Query CIs by class; read one CI with its attributes and relationships.
- Create / update / patch CI instances; add or delete CI relationships.
- Bulk-ingest CMDB data.
- Get or set a CI's lifecycle status; manage lifecycle actions, leases, and operators.
When NOT to use
- Incidents / change requests → their dedicated skills.
- Associating an existing CI to a change →
servicenow-change-management. - Generic CRUD on non-CMDB tables →
servicenow-table-api.
Prerequisites & environment
Connect via the mcp-client skill against the servicenow-api MCP server.
| Variable | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
SERVICENOW_INSTANCE |
✅ | Instance URL (alias SERVICENOW_URL) |
SERVICENOW_USERNAME |
✅ | Basic-auth user |
SERVICENOW_PASSWORD |
✅ | Basic-auth password |
SERVICENOW_CLIENT_ID / SERVICENOW_CLIENT_SECRET |
optional | OAuth2 |
SERVICENOW_SSL_VERIFY |
optional | TLS verification toggle |
Full env/tag matrix (do not re-document here): the mcp-client reference
agent-tools/mcp-client/references/servicenow-api.md. MCP_TOOL_MODE
(condensed|verbose|both) selects the condensed surface (used below) vs. the
one-to-one verbose tools.
Tools & actions
Prefer the condensed tools; each takes action + a params_json JSON
string whose keys are passed straight to the client method.
| Condensed tool | Actions |
|---|---|
servicenow_cmdb |
get_cmdb, get_cmdb_instances, get_cmdb_instance, create_cmdb_instance, update_cmdb_instance, patch_cmdb_instance, create_cmdb_relation, delete_cmdb_relation, ingest_cmdb_data |
servicenow_cilifecycle |
get_ci_lifecycle_status, set_ci_lifecycle_status, get_ci_lifecycle_active_actions, add_ci_lifecycle_action, delete_ci_lifecycle_action, extend_ci_lifecycle_lease, check_ci_lifecycle_compat_actions, check_ci_lifecycle_lease_expired, check_ci_lifecycle_not_allowed_action, check_ci_lifecycle_not_allowed_ops_transition, check_ci_lifecycle_requestor_valid, register_ci_lifecycle_operator, unregister_ci_lifecycle_operator |
What ships with it
2 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-cmdb is a skill published in the GitHub repository Knuckles-Team/servicenow-api (19 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 1,510 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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.
