ServiceNow AI Agent Fabric and AI Control Tower
Overview
ServiceNow approaches agents from its position as the system of record for IT assets. AI Control Tower extends asset discovery to AI: agents, models, copilots, MCP servers and datasets, tied into the CMDB.
How it coordinates agents
ServiceNow AI agents run in Now Platform workflows. A2A is embedded in Action Fabric for ServiceNow and third-party agents, and an MCP client lets ServiceNow agents reach external tools.
Governance
Auto-discovery of AI assets into the CMDB; auditable compliance gates; content packs for the EU AI Act, the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and the California AI Transparency Act. Of the products in this guide, it has the most explicit regulatory content.

How it fits with BAND
Control Tower answers "what AI do we have and is it compliant". BAND answers "how do agents from different vendors get this task done together". ServiceNow agents can remain governed in ServiceNow while collaborating on cross-platform work elsewhere.
