Get build details by ID
AI agents call get_build to retrieve information from MCP Server for Azure DevOps without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and retrieves build metadata from Azure DevOps. It performs a read-only operation that returns information about a specific build without altering any state, executing code, or triggering external processes. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only access build information it may not have permission to view, but cannot cause operational damage.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_build' and description states 'Get build details by ID' — this is a retrieval operation with no modification or execution capability.
