Modifying the default Knowledge ServiceNow tool settings
As an administrator, configure the Knowledge ServiceNow tool to help agents retrieve relevant knowledge articles from ServiceNow and respond to knowledge-related queries through the Employee Navigator interface. This setup improves support efficiency and enhances the overall user experience.
The Knowledge 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 Knowledge ServiceNow tool settings
- 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 Knowledge ServiceNow tool. - In the Configuration field, modify the following settings:
Setting Description score_limit The relevancy score for an article to be considered a match for the user’s query, based on the ServiceNow API. grade_documents A Boolean value that determines whether document grading by the LLM is enabled. grade_threshold The threshold score for document grading on a scale of 1–5. Articles with a score below this value are excluded from the results. Default configuration:
{
"score_limit": 1,
"grade_documents": false,
"grade_threshold": 3
} - Click Save.
