Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_toolsA | Search the full NowAIKit tool catalog (400+ tools) by keyword to discover the right tool without loading every definition. Returns matching tool names + descriptions ranked by relevance. Use this FIRST when you are unsure which tool to call.

| query_recordsB | Query ServiceNow records with filtering, field selection, pagination, and sorting |
| get_table_schemaA | Get the structure and field information for a ServiceNow table |
| get_recordB | Retrieve complete details of a specific record by sys_id |

| delete_recordA | Delete a record from any ServiceNow table (requires WRITE_ENABLED=true). Pass dry_run=true to preview the record that would be deleted without deleting it. |
