Short answer
AI agents on ServiceNow route, diagnose and act using what your CMDB says. If services have no owners, relationships are missing or data is stale, an agent will act confidently on the wrong thing. Align to CSDM 5.0, name owners, and measure completeness for the services agents will touch before you widen their scope.
