35 ServiceNow tools available to Sim agents.
Create an incident in ServiceNow. Reference fields (caller, assignment group, assigned to, configuration item) take sys_ids unless input display value is enabled.
Retrieve a single ServiceNow incident by number (e.g., INC0010001) or sys_id. Reference fields are returned with both their sys_id and their label by default.
Search ServiceNow incidents by state, priority, assignment, caller, or text. All filters are ANDed together.
Update fields on an existing ServiceNow incident. Only the fields you supply are changed. Reference fields take sys_ids unless input display value is enabled.
Move a ServiceNow incident to Resolved (state 6) with a resolution code and resolution notes.
Move a ServiceNow incident to Closed (state 7) with a resolution code and resolution notes. Which roles may close an incident is instance-configurable, so the credential may need elevated rights.
Append an internal work note or a customer-visible additional comment to a ServiceNow incident. Both are journal fields, so the text is appended rather than replacing earlier entries.
Create a change request in ServiceNow. Reference fields (assignment group, assigned to, requested by, configuration item) take sys_ids unless input display value is enabled.
Retrieve a single ServiceNow change request by number (e.g., CHG0030001) or sys_id. Reference fields are returned with both their sys_id and their label by default.
Search ServiceNow change requests by state, type, risk, assignment, or text. All filters are ANDed together.
Update fields on an existing ServiceNow change request. Only the fields you supply are changed. Use Move ServiceNow Change State for state transitions.
Move a ServiceNow change request to another state. Base-system change model states are -5=New, -4=Assess, -3=Authorize, -2=Scheduled, -1=Implement, 0=Review, 3=Closed, 4=Canceled. The state machine rejects transitions whose conditions are not met.
List the change tasks belonging to a ServiceNow change request, via the Change Management API. Every field is returned as {value, display_value}, so a reference field carries both its sys_id and its label. This endpoint is not the Table API: the shape is fixed with no display-value option, and the results come back under `tasks` rather than the `records` the other list operations use.
Read the states a ServiceNow change request can actually move to next, with the instance's own state-to-label map and the conditions each transition still has to meet. Use this instead of assuming the base-system state codes, which a customized change model can change.
Browse or search the ServiceNow service catalog. Returns each item with its sys_id, name, description, type, category, and catalogs, which is what Order ServiceNow Catalog Item needs.
Submit a service catalog request for a catalog item using the Service Catalog API order_now endpoint. Returns the generated request number and sys_id.
List requested items (RITMs) from the ServiceNow Requested Item [sc_req_item] table, optionally scoped to a parent request or a catalog item. To scope by requester, pass an encoded query against the parent request, for example "request.requested_for=<sys_id>".
Retrieve a single ServiceNow requested item (RITM) by number (e.g., RITM0010001) or sys_id from the Requested Item [sc_req_item] table.
List approval records from the ServiceNow Approval [sysapproval_approver] table. Defaults to the "requested" state, which is what a user's pending approvals look like.
Approve or reject a ServiceNow approval record by setting its state on the Approval [sysapproval_approver] table.
Search the ServiceNow CMDB for configuration items. Defaults to the base cmdb_ci table, which returns CIs of every class; pass a CI class to scope the search to a subclass such as cmdb_ci_linux_server.
Retrieve a configuration item and its CMDB relationships through the CMDB Instance API. Returns the CI attributes plus its inbound and outbound relations, each carrying the related CI and the relationship type.
List rows from the CI Relationship [cmdb_rel_ci] table for a configuration item. Each row carries the parent CI, the child CI, and the relationship type.
Search ServiceNow knowledge base articles through the Knowledge Management API. Returns ranked results with a snippet and the article number, which Get ServiceNow Knowledge Article accepts to fetch the full body.
Retrieve the full content of a ServiceNow knowledge article by sys_id or KB number through the Knowledge Management API.
Look up ServiceNow users by email, user name, or display name. Use this to resolve the sys_id needed by reference fields such as caller_id, assigned_to, and approver.
List the members of a ServiceNow group from the Group Member [sys_user_grmember] table. Each row links a user to a group, so use it to find who can be assigned work for an assignment group.
