ServiceNow announced a new authority layer called AI Passport and additional AI governance capabilities on October 15. The company says agents and MCP servers will use cryptographically signed credentials to verify their permitted scope at each step of a workflow.

The announcement covered shadow-AI detection, cost management and AI Passport, with NVIDIA named as a design and launch partner. ServiceNow and NVIDIA are building an implementation using the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform. AI Passport and some governance features are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026; these are company product statements, not independent performance results.
