Exploring any ServiceNow table: schema, field types, sample records, relationships, data patterns, a record's history (work notes, comments, field changes), and what touches a table or field (business rules, client scripts, UI policies, ACLs, script includes). Use when the user mentions tables, schemas, fields, data dictionary, sys_dictionary, sys_db_object, table structure, 'what fields does X have', a record's work notes, comments, journal or audit trail, where a table or field is used, what…

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

# Exploring ServiceNow Tables

General-purpose table exploration — schema discovery, data profiling, choice lists, table comparison, record history and where-used. See `references/query-syntax.md` for encoded-query operators, including date ranges, and `references/history-and-references.md` for the journal, audit and where-used tables.

## Tables and roles

| Table or tool | What it gives | Readable with |
|---------------|---------------|---------------|
| `get_table_schema`, `sys_dictionary` | Field names, types, references, mandatory flags | `personalize_dictionary` (or `admin`). A least-privilege identity usually gets 403. |
| `sys_db_object` | Table names, labels and parents | Usually readable |
| `sys_choice` | Choice values and labels | Often needs more than `itil`: querying its `name`/`element` fields gets 403 for `itil` + `snc_read_only` |
| The table itself | Sample rows | Whatever role reads that table |
| `sys_journal_field` | Work notes, comments and other journal entries, one row per entry | `audit_viewer` (or `admin`). Without it, rows are hidden: 0 rows, not a 403 |
| `sys_audit` | Field changes: old and new value, who, when | `audit_viewer` (or `admin`) |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jschuller/mcp-server-servicenow/exploring-tables@sha256:d7258852e9913fc9

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, 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.
