Implementation Reference
- The main handler function that implements the list_workflow_versions tool. It queries the ServiceNow wf_workflow_version table using REST API to retrieve versions for a given workflow_id, handles pagination, and returns structured results.def list_workflow_versions( auth_manager: AuthManager, server_config: ServerConfig, params: Dict[str, Any], ) -> Dict[str, Any]: """ List versions of a specific workflow. Args: auth_manager: Authentication manager server_config: Server configuration params: Parameters for listing workflow versions Returns: Dict[str, Any]: List of workflow versions """ # Unwrap parameters if needed params = _unwrap_params(params, ListWorkflowVersionsParams) # Get the correct auth_manager and server_config try: auth_manager, server_config = _get_auth_and_config(auth_manager, server_config) except ValueError as e: logger.error(f"Error getting auth and config: {e}") return {"error": str(e)} workflow_id = params.get("workflow_id") if not workflow_id: return {"error": "Workflow ID is required"} # Convert parameters to ServiceNow query format query_params = { "sysparm_query": f"workflow={workflow_id}", "sysparm_limit": params.get("limit", 10), "sysparm_offset": params.get("offset", 0), } # Make the API request try: headers = auth_manager.get_headers() url = f"{server_config.instance_url}/api/now/table/wf_workflow_version" response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=query_params) response.raise_for_status() result = response.json() return { "versions": result.get("result", []), "count": len(result.get("result", [])), "total": int(response.headers.get("X-Total-Count", 0)), "workflow_id": workflow_id, } except requests.RequestException as e: logger.error(f"Error listing workflow versions: {e}") return {"error": str(e)} except Exception as e: logger.error(f"Unexpected error listing workflow versions: {e}") return {"error": str(e)}
