Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00090 | $0.00442 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00045 | $0.00221 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00088 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00044 |
Grade A, and why
azure-devops-rest scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Azure DevOps REST API Skill
Proven patterns for Azure DevOps REST API automation: auth, pagination, throttling, work items, pipelines, and repos.
Reference Files
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
references/pipelines.md |
Auth (PAT + OIDC), API versioning, pagination, throttling, work items, repos, pipelines |
references/extensions.md |
Artifacts/packages, service hooks, extension development, common pitfalls |
Auth Quick Reference
| Method | When to Use |
|---|---|
| PAT (Basic auth) | Scripts, local development |
System.AccessToken / Managed Identity |
Azure Pipelines, Azure-hosted automation |
Always use api-version=7.1. PAT expiry ≤ 90 days; store in Key Vault.
Common Pitfalls
| Pitfall | Fix |
|---|---|
| Wrong Content-Type on PATCH | Use application/json-patch+json |
Missing api-version |
Always include ?api-version=7.1 |
| Unhandled 429 | Check Retry-After header; exponential backoff |
| No pagination | Always check x-ms-continuationtoken |
Key Limits
- WIQL: max 20,000 work item IDs
- Batch get: max 200 IDs per request
- Default page size: ~200 items (use

What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

azure-devops-rest is a skill published in the GitHub repository ivegamsft/basecoat (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 442 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
