## Summary of Vault crypto module manager AI agent

The Vault crypto module manager AI agent in ServiceNow enables management of Vault crypto module configuration and access policies.
It specifically handles encrypted field configurations and module access policies for roles, helping organizations secure sensitive data using ServiceNow Vault technology.

## Key Features

* **Role and prerequisite validation:** Ensures necessary roles (KMF admin/cryptographic manager and securityadmin) are present and recommends Field Encryption Enterprise installation for optimal functionality.
* **Four core operations:**
  * **Encrypt a field:** Validates table and field existence, checks encryption status, and encrypts the field if not already encrypted.
  * **Grant role access:** Adds module access policies for roles that do not already have Vault crypto module access.
  * **Check encryption status:** Confirms whether a specified field is currently encrypted.
  * **List roles with access:** Displays roles that have Vault crypto module access along with operation results.
* **Configuration options:**
  * Allow third-party AI agents to use this agent (disabled by default).
  * Allow AI specialists access to enable advanced tool configuration (disabled by default).
  * Manage long-term memory to provide context from prior interactions (disabled by default).
* **Security and access control:** The agent is accessible only to users with specific roles including `snvaultconsole.vaultconsoleadmin`, `securityadmin`, `snkmf.admin`, and `snkmf.cryptographicmanager`.
* **Integration and extensibility:** Can be configured for Virtual Agent or ServiceNow Otto panel via Assistant Designer and supports agentic workflows related to Field Encryption with Vault module.

## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers

* Streamlines management of field encryption and access policies within ServiceNow Vault, reducing manual configuration effort.
* Ensures compliance and security by controlling which roles have access to cryptographic modules and encrypted data.
* Provides clear workflows and status feedback to help administrators monitor encryption coverage and access permissions effectively.
* Supports integration with AI-driven virtual assistants, enhancing automation and user experience in managing sensitive data encryption.  
This ServiceNow Vault agent manages the Vault crypto module configuration and access policies. The agent handles encrypted field configurations for fields, and manages module access policies for roles.

## Workflow {#vault-vault-crypto-module-manager-ai-agent__zsmdlwierhjt}

1. Check that the required roles (KMF admin/cryptographic manager and security_admin) are available (required) and whether Field Encryption Enterprise is installed (recommended).
2. Present the four supported operations and let the user choose one:

   Encrypt a field
   :   Collect the table and field name, validate both exist, check whether the field is already encrypted, and if not, encrypt it with the vault crypto module.

   Grant role access
   :   Collect a role name, check if it already has access, and if not, create a module access policy for that role.

   Check encryption status
   :   Collect a table and field name, validate both exist, and report whether the field is currently encrypted.

   List roles with access
   :
3. Display the outcome (success, failure, or current status) and end execution.

| Field | Description |
|-|-|
| Allow third party to access this AI agent | When enabled, third-party AI agents can use this agent. This value is off (false) by default. This setting is defined in the AI Agent configs \[sn_aia_agent_config\] table on the External discoverable field. |
| Allow AI specialists to access this AI agent | When enabled, AI specialists can use this agent. This value is off (false) by default. When set to true, more configuration options for tools become available so that an AI specialist can map inputs and response templates to tool outputs. This setting is defined in the AI Agent configs \[sn_aia_agent_config\] table on the Specialist enabled field. |
| Manage long-term memory | When enabled, all previous user interactions are used as context for the LLM. This value is off (false) by default. This setting is defined by the sn_aia.ltm.enable_long_term_memory system property. For more information, see [ServiceNow Otto AI agents reference](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/MUqSU8rHp3ao~q3QEWgHkA "Find more information about user roles, tables, and the different properties that are installed in ServiceNow Otto AI agents."). |
| Tools | Scripts :   Check if field is encrypted :   Check prerequisites :   Check table and field available :   Create module access policy for role :   Encrypt field with vault crypto module :   Get all roles with vault crypto module access |
| Allowed user roles The specific user roles that can access this AI agent. | snc_internal |
| Data access roles The specific user identity roles that determine which data the AI agent can access and what actions it can take. | sn_vault_console.vault_console_admin, security_admin, sn_kmf.admin, sn_kmf.cryptographic_manager |
| Triggers | Optional. None defined by default. An admin can specify triggers if desired. For more information, see [Add a trigger to an AI agent](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/NXqRJBQV_Vw00FEzklcAJw "In the guided setup for an AI agent, add triggers to run the AI agent automatically when certain conditions are met."). |
| Channels | Configure an assistant for Virtual Agent or ServiceNow Otto panel using [Assistant Designer](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-now-assist-va&version=australia&pubname=australia-conversational-interfaces&ft:locale=en-US). |
| Used in agentic workflows | Field Encryption with Vault module |
