批次獲取多個 Azure DevOps Work Items（最多200個）。
AI agents call get_work_items_batch to retrieve information from 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/queries work item data in batch (up to 200 items) from Azure DevOps. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute operations. The batch retrieval capability does not elevate the risk category; it remains a read-only operation. Blast radius if misused is minimal: an AI agent could retrieve sensitive work item data, but cannot alter the system state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_work_items_batch' and description '批次獲取多個 Azure DevOps Work Items（最多200個）' [Batch retrieve multiple Azure DevOps Work Items (max 200)] indicate a retrieval operation with no modification of data.
