Implementation Reference
- The handler function that executes the publish_changeset tool. It validates parameters, makes a PATCH request to ServiceNow API to set the changeset state to 'published', and returns success or error.def publish_changeset( auth_manager: AuthManager, server_config: ServerConfig, params: Union[Dict[str, Any], PublishChangesetParams], ) -> Dict[str, Any]: """ Publish a changeset in ServiceNow. Args: auth_manager: The authentication manager. server_config: The server configuration. params: The parameters for publishing a changeset. Can be a dictionary or a PublishChangesetParams object. Returns: The published changeset.
