Gets a list of builds (pipeline runs) with filtering options
AI agents call pipelines_get_builds to retrieve information from Azure DevOps Multi-Organization 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 historical or current build metadata from Azure DevOps pipelines. It performs a query operation only, returning information about pipeline runs without triggering new builds, modifying build configurations, or altering any system state. The sibling tools (git_get_item, git_get_pull_request, list_organizations, list_projects, pipelines_get_build_definitions) follow the same read-only pattern.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate 'Gets a list of builds (pipeline runs) with filtering options' — a retrieval operation with no modification or execution capability. The verb 'gets' and 'list' are characteristic of Read operations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Gets a list of builds (pipeline runs) with filtering options. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Azure DevOps Multi-Organization MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Azure DevOps Multi-Organization MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for pipelines_get_builds: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Azure DevOps Multi-Organization MCP Server. Nothing to install.
pipelines_get_builds is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the pipelines_get_builds rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for pipelines_get_builds. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
pipelines_get_builds is provided by the Azure DevOps Multi-Organization MCP Server MCP server (nikydobrev/mcp-server-azure-devops-multi). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
