List all work items in the current sprint with summary information
AI agents call list_all_current_sprint_tickets 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 retrieves sprint work item data for display purposes only. It has no side effects, does not modify or delete data, does not execute code or commands, and does not involve financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only view sprint information already accessible to authenticated Azure DevOps users. This is a straightforward Read operation.
