Get pipeline run details
AI agents call get_pipeline_run 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 retrieves information about a pipeline execution without modifying, executing, or deleting any data. It falls squarely in the Read category as a query operation. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent retrieving pipeline run details cannot trigger unwanted builds, modify deployments, or affect system state.
