blast-radius

blast-radius is a skill for Claude Code from serac-labs/serac. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,911 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A ServiceNow dependency checker that shows which configuration records, scripts, tables, applications, and other settings are connected to a change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find everything that reads or changes a field, calls a script, depends on an artifact, or is configured on a table.
Why use it?
It helps reveal what could break before you delete, rename, or refactor something in a ServiceNow instance.

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

blast-radius 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 6d 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.

Blast Radius for ServiceNow

Blast Radius provides configuration dependency analysis across a ServiceNow instance. Before making changes to fields, tables, or artifacts, use these tools to understand the full blast radius.

Tool Overview

Tool Purpose When to Use
snow_blast_radius_apps List apps with config counts Starting point — understand the instance landscape
snow_blast_radius_table_configs All configs on a table "What runs on the incident table?"
snow_blast_radius_field_references Reverse field lookup "What touches incident.assignment_group?"
snow_blast_radius_artifact_dependencies Forward dependency analysis "What does this business rule read/write?"
snow_blast_radius_dependents Find what uses / calls an artifact (deep 3-phase scan, 100+ tables) "What calls IncidentUtils?" / "Can I safely delete this business rule?"
snow_code_search Substring search across every script-bearing table (business rules, script includes, client scripts, widgets, scripted REST ops, UI actions, ACLs, notifications, UX scripts, …) "Where is IncidentUtils.resolve referenced anywhere?" — use when reverse-dependency tools don't index what you need

Coverage

snow_blast_radius_field_references and snow_blast_radius_table_configs scan the following artifact types in parallel. Types backed by plugins that are not activated on the instance fail silently — the tool reports them under errors_by_type and continues.

Table-scoped (queried with the table name as filter):

  • Business rules (sys_script) — script + condition + filter_condition + role_conditions
  • Client scripts (sys_script_client)
  • UI actions (sys_ui_action) — script + condition
  • UI policies (sys_ui_policy) — script_true + script_false + conditions
  • UI policy actions (sys_ui_policy_action) — exact field match
  • Data policies (sys_data_policy2)
  • Data policy rules (sys_data_policy_rule) — exact table_field match
  • ACLs (sys_security_acl) — field-level name match always included, table-level only when script/condition references the field
  • Email notifications (sysevent_email_action) — subject + message_html + message_text + condition + advanced_condition
  • Metric definitions (metric_definition) — script + exact field match
  • Inbound email actions (sysevent_in_email_action) — script + condition
  • Transform entries (sys_transform_entry) — target_field / source_field
  • Dictionary dependent / dependent_on_field — UI-level field dependencies

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.

blast-radius is a skill published in the GitHub repository serac-labs/serac (78 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 2,911 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
