Interact with ServiceNow instances via the jsn CLI. Use when working with ServiceNow development, administration, or data exploration. Handles tables, records, business rules, flows, script includes, ACLs, update sets, and more. Triggered by ServiceNow URLs (service-now.com, servicenow.com) or when the user mentions ServiceNow, jsn, servicenow, or related terms like tables, records, business rules, flows, script includes, ACLs, update sets, or encoded queries.
Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
Explore and manage ServiceNow instances. Interactive paginated pickers with server-side search on all list commands.
jsn --help # All commands grouped by domain
jsn <command> --help # Flags, subcommands, and examples
All list subcommands use a paginated interactive picker in TTY mode:
--json--json when parsing data; text when presenting to humansjsn auth status before operationsjsn auth logout if the user explicitly asks--profile <name> to target a specific instance, or jsn auth switch <name> to change the defaulteval or rest — Ask: "Is there a more specific jsn command?" Prefer specific over generic over escape hatch over eval.Pick the most specific tool for the job. Never default to eval — it's the last resort:
jsn flows, jsn rules, jsn catalogitems, etc.jsn records --table <name> — generic CRUD on any tablejsn docs search <query> — offline ServiceNow documentation search (no instance needed)jsn rest — raw Table API escape hatchjsn eval — ⚠️ LAST RESORT ONLY| Domain | Commands |
|---|---|
| Core | incidents, changes, requests, tasks |
| Catalog | catalogitems list/show/create — items with variables and flow info |
| Automation | flows, actions, rules, workflows, triggers, scheduledjobs |
| Access | acls, b4rules, roles, groups, users |
| UX | forms (section/element layout), lists, clientscripts, uipolicies |
| Data | tables, columns, includes, logs, properties, records |
| Config | setup, auth, updatesets, scopes |
| Docs | docs sync, docs status, docs search, docs serve |

jsn rest examples# Query any table by name
jsn rest --table incident --query "active=true" --limit 5 --json
# GET a single record
jsn rest --table incident --sys-id abc123... --json
# Raw endpoint access
jsn rest "/api/now/table/incident?sysparm_limit=3" --json
jsn docs — offline documentation searchNo ServiceNow instance required. Searches the full ServiceNow docs locally with FTS5 + semantic hybrid search.
# First run: download docs and build the index (~45k files, ~3-5 min)
jsn docs sync
# Check state
jsn docs status
# Search (keyword + semantic hybrid)
jsn docs search "GlideRecord query" --limit 5 --json
# Filter by bundle
jsn docs search "REST API" --bundle it-service-management --json
# Start the web UI
jsn docs serve
# Share on your network
jsn docs serve --expose
Re-running jsn docs sync does a smart incremental refresh — pulls latest docs and only rebuilds changed files (seconds, not minutes).

Interactive paginated pickers with server-side search on all list commands. ## Discovery ```bash jsn --help # All commands grouped by domain jsn <command> --help # Flags, subcommands, and examples ``` ## Interactive Picker All `list` subcommands use a paginated interactive picker in TTY mode: - Arrow through items (10 per page) - Type to search (server-side LIKE query) - Scroll past last loaded item to load next page - Enter to select, Esc to cancel - Falls back to table output with `--json` ## Agent Rules 1. **Output modes** — `--json` when parsing data; text when presenting to humans 2. **Use sys_id for updates** — All update/delete operations require sys_id 3. **Check auth first** — Run `jsn auth status` before operations 4. **NEVER logout** — Only run `jsn auth logout` if the user explicitly asks 5. **Use `--profile <name>`** to target a specific instance, or `jsn auth switch <name>` to change the default 6. **Before using `eval` or `rest`** — Ask: *"Is there a more specific jsn command?"* Prefer specific over generic over escape hatch over eval. 7. **CONFIRM before destructive operations** — Show what will be created/updated/deleted and ask for approval. ## Command Hierarchy Pick the most specific tool for the job. **Never default to eval** — it's the last resort: 1. **Specific commands** — `jsn flows`, `jsn rules`, `jsn catalogitems`, etc. 2. **`jsn records --table <name>`** — generic CRUD on any table 3. **`jsn docs search <query>`** — offline ServiceNow documentation search (no instance needed) 4. **`jsn rest`** — raw Table API escape hatch 5. **`jsn eval`** — ⚠️ **LAST RESORT ONLY** 6. **Ask the human** — if none of the above work ## Key Commands | Domain | Commands | |--------|---------| | **Core** | `incidents`, `changes`, `requests`, `tasks` | | **Catalog** | `catalogitems list/show/create` — items with variables and flow info | | **Automation** | `flows`, `actions`, `rules`, `workflows`, `triggers`, `scheduledjobs` | | **Access** | `acls`, `b4rules`, `roles`, `groups`, `users` | | **UX** | `forms` (section/element layout), `lists`, `clientscripts`, `uipolicies` | | **Data** | `tables`, `columns`, `includes`, `logs`, `properties`, `records` | | **Config** | `setup`, `auth`, `updatesets`, `scopes` | | **Docs** | `docs sync`, `docs status`, `docs search`, `docs serve` | | **Developer** | `eval`, `rest`, `skill`, `version` | ### `jsn rest` examples ```bash # Query any table by name jsn rest --table incident --query "active=true" --limit 5 --json # GET a single record jsn rest --table incident --sys-id abc123... --json # Raw endpoint access jsn rest "/api/now/table/incident?sysparm_limit=3" --json ``` ### `jsn docs` — offline documentation search No ServiceNow instance required.
