    About this task

    ServiceNow AI systems are scored by the AI Skill Kit scoring engine. No additional configuration is required to collect trace data from ServiceNow AI systems.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > AI Control Tower > Home > Settings > Rules and templates > Evaluation.
    2. On the AI evaluations sub-tab, select ServiceNow AI systems.
    3. Set the Activate toggle to on.
    4. Optional: Update the sample rate.

      The sample rate determines what percentage of AI executions are evaluated. ServiceNow AI systems use a single sample rate for all metrics. The default is 100%. You can enter a lower percentage to evaluate fewer executions.

      1. Enter the sample rate to use when evaluating ServiceNow AI systems.
      2. Select Update.
    5. Optional: Review the quality metrics that are included by default.
      The following quality metrics are evaluated for ServiceNow AI systems by default.
      Overall task completeness
      Whether the agentic workflow completed its assigned task, including all required steps and proper resolution or escalation.
      Tool calling correctness
      Whether tool calls used correct parameters, formatting, and expected values.

      For a complete list of available metrics and their descriptions, see Evaluation metrics.

    6. Optional: Add or remove metrics that you want to evaluate.
      Important:
      Adding more metrics increases the visibility you gain into each session, but also increases assist usage to evaluate it. Select the metrics that give you the insight you need.
