Gets details and status of a Pull Request.
AI agents call git.pr.get 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 read-only information about a pull request's details and status. It performs a query operation without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any actions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an unauthorized read of PR information is a confidentiality concern but does not affect system integrity or availability.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'git.pr.get' and description 'Gets details and status of a Pull Request' indicate retrieval of existing data with no modification or side effects.
