assessing-change-impact from jschuller/mcp-server-servicenow is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add jschuller/mcp-server-servicenow/assessing-change-impact@v0.1.0Pins v0.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Assessing what a ServiceNow change request touched and what followed it: affected CIs, other changes on the same CIs in an overlapping window, and incidents on those CIs after the change, without trusting hidden incident-to-change links. Use this skill whenever the user asks whether a change (a CHG number) caused or broke anything, about a post-implementation review, change collisions or conflicts, or what else is scheduled on a CI, even if they do not ask for a skill.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Assessing Change Impact
Read-only evidence for a post-implementation review: what a change touched, what overlapped with it, and what broke afterwards. It finds correlation, not cause. Say so in the report, and let the people who ran the change judge.
## Tables and roles
| Table | What it gives | Readable with |
|-------|---------------|---------------|
| `change_request` | The change: CI, planned window (`start_date`, `end_date`), state, type, risk | `itil` |
| `task_ci` | Affected CIs of a task (`task`, `ci_item`) | `itil` |
| `incident` | Incidents by CI and time | `itil` |
## When access is denied
- A 403 on any of the three tables: the review is not assessable with this identity; say which table.
- **Hidden incident fields.** The direct links `incident.rfc` ("Change Request") and `incident.caused_by` ("Caused by Change") are often hidden by ACLs. A query on a hidden field is ignored, not rejected: it returns every incident. Check visibility first (workflow step 4), and fall back to the CI-and-time correlation.
- 0 rows means nothing was found with this identity. Rows may be hidden, so don't call a change clean on that alone.

How to install
mdr add jschuller/mcp-server-servicenow/assessing-change-impact@sha256:13146d35b041bf3dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
