List all issues in the current sprint with summary information
AI agents call list_all_current_sprint_issues to retrieve information from Azure DevOps MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool purely reads and retrieves sprint issue data from Azure DevOps. It has no side effects, does not modify any state, does not execute code or commands, and does not involve financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve existing sprint information that would typically be accessible to the user anyway. This clearly falls under the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'list' and description states 'List all issues in the current sprint with summary information'. This retrieves and displays data without modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
