ServiceNow Incident Triage
Drive triage through the NowAIKit MCP tools. Discover tools with search_tools if a name is unknown.
Workflow
- Scope. If given an incident number, fetch it (
get_incident). For a queue,query_recordsonincidentwith an encoded query (validate it first withvalidate_query), e.g.active=true^assignment_group=<grp>^priority<=2. - Context. Pull the caller, CI, and recent activity. For grounding, use
generate_summaryandml_similar_incidents(orai_search) to find prior resolutions. - Classify. Use
categorize_incident/ml_auto_categorizeto confirm category andsuggest_resolutionfor a candidate fix. - Act safely. Propose field changes (priority, assignment_group, work notes) and apply with
update_record. Always run withdry_run: truefirst and show the before→after diff before applying for real. Add context withadd_work_note. - Summarize. Report what changed, the suggested resolution, and links to the similar incidents you used.
Rules
- Never set priority/assignment without showing the dry-run diff first.
- Requires
WRITE_ENABLED=truefor any update; if disabled, output the proposed changes instead of applying. - Encoded queries use
^(AND) and^OR(OR), never SQLAND/OR. Validate withvalidate_query. - Writes are recorded in the NowAIKit audit log automatically.
