Actions
What your agents can do in Azure DevOps
6 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.
Read 4
Look things up. Nothing changes.
List projects
Lists the projects in the organization that the token's owner can see: each project's ID, name, description, state and visibility.
Get work items
Reads up to 50 work items by their IDs, in any project: each one's id, rev and fields (System.Title, System.State, System.WorkItemType, System.AssignedTo, System.Description …).
Find work items with WIQL
Runs a WIQL query in a project and returns the matching work items' IDs in workItems (then read them with get_work_items), most relevant order as the query says.
List pull requests
Lists the pull requests in a Git repository, newest first: active ones unless another status is asked for, optionally only those into or from a branch.
Write 2
Create, change or send.
Create a work item
Creates a work item in a project: a Bug, Task, User Story, Product Backlog Item, Issue or any type the project's process has, by its name.
Run a pipeline
Starts a run of a YAML pipeline, by its numeric ID (in its web address, definitionId=), on a branch (the pipeline's default branch if none), with optional runtime parameters and variables.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Enter the API credentials from your Azure DevOps account.
What you enter
- Personal access token
Settings
- Organization
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Azure DevOps data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can list projects, get work items or find work items with WIQL in Azure DevOps, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Azure DevOps
Have the agent create a work item or run a pipeline in Azure DevOps as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent Azure DevOps and Slack: it can list projects in Azure DevOps and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
