ServiceNow Agent Guides

Use these guides to connect Simple Chat agents and actions to ServiceNow for incident handling, knowledge workflows, OAuth authentication, and asset management.

Incident and KB integrations OAuth 2.0 authentication Single-agent and multi-agent patterns

These guides are best read as a family. Start with the single-agent integration if you want the fastest path, move into OAuth when you need production authentication, then use the advanced guides only when your permissions or workflows demand more separation.

Single-agent ServiceNow integration

Use the standard support-agent guide for incident management and read-only KB search through one agent and two actions.

Open integration guide

OAuth 2.0 setup

Use the OAuth guide when you need bearer-token authentication instead of Basic Auth for ServiceNow actions in production-style environments.

Two-agent KB management

Use the advanced split-agent design when incident handling and KB publishing need separate roles, tokens, and approval boundaries.

Open two-agent guide

Asset management agent

Use the asset-management guide when you want a dedicated agent with separate query, create, update, and delete actions over the `alm_asset` table.

Pick the narrowest integration that fits

Most teams should start with the single-agent support pattern. Add OAuth when security posture requires it, add the two-agent KB model when permissions diverge, and add asset management only when hardware lifecycle workflows belong inside the agent surface.

Shared supporting assets

OpenAPI specs

The ServiceNow folder includes incident, knowledge-base, and asset-management specs for the actions described in these guides.

Agent instructions

Instruction files for the support, KB management, and asset-management agents live beside the specs so action and prompt behavior stay aligned.
