Implementation Reference
- The handler function that implements the list_users tool logic, querying the sys_user table with pagination, filters for active, department, and search query.def list_users( config: ServerConfig, auth_manager: AuthManager, params: ListUsersParams, ) -> dict: """ List users from ServiceNow. Args: config: Server configuration. auth_manager: Authentication manager. params: Parameters for listing users. Returns: Dictionary containing list of users. """ api_url = f"{config.api_url}/table/sys_user" query_params = { "sysparm_limit": str(params.limit), "sysparm_offset": str(params.offset), "sysparm_display_value": "true", } # Build query query_parts = [] if params.active is not None: query_parts.append(f"active={str(params.active).lower()}") if params.department: query_parts.append(f"department={params.department}") if params.query: query_parts.append( f"^nameLIKE{params.query}^ORuser_nameLIKE{params.query}^ORemailLIKE{params.query}" ) if query_parts: query_params["sysparm_query"] = "^".join(query_parts) # Make request try: response = requests.get( api_url, params=query_params, headers=auth_manager.get_headers(), timeout=config.timeout, ) response.raise_for_status() result = response.json().get("result", []) return { "success": True, "message": f"Found {len(result)} users", "users": result, "count": len(result), } except requests.RequestException as e: logger.error(f"Failed to list users: {e}") return {"success": False, "message": f"Failed to list users: {str(e)}"}
