Modifying the default Profile ServiceNow tool settings


As an administrator, configure the Profile ServiceNow tool to help agents retrieve user profile details from ServiceNow and respond to profile-related queries through the Employee Navigator interface. This setup improves support efficiency and enhances the overall user experience.

The Profile ServiceNow tool is available out-of-the-box, but you cannot modify it directly. However, you can add a new tool to modify the default tool configuration.

Before you begin

Make sure you have cloned an out-of-the-box agent, because you can only add a custom tool to a cloned out-of-the-box agent.

For more information, see Cloning an agent.

To modify the default Profile ServiceNow tool settings

  1. Add a new tool in your environment. For more information, see Adding tool and toolkit for an AI Agent.
    The new tool must replicate the field value configuration of the existing out-of-the-box Profile ServiceNow tool.
  2. In the Configuration field, modify the following settings:
    SettingDescription
    include_documentsA Boolean value that determines whether related references are included in the response.
    sys_paramsA comma-separated list of fields that define the profile attributes returned in the response. 
    limitThe number of profiles returned per query. 
    reportees_limitThe number of reportees returned per profile. 

    Default configuration:

    {
      "include_documents": false,
      "sys_params": "name,email,manager.name,location.name,reportees,sys_id",
      "limit": 10,
      "reportees_limit": 20
    }
  3. Click Save.
