azure-devops-rest-api

azure-devops-rest-api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Tiberriver256/mcp-server-azure-devops. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,442 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to Azure DevOps REST APIs and their official OpenAPI specifications. Azure DevOps is Microsoft's service for code hosting, work tracking, builds, releases, testing, and package storage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building integrations for Azure DevOps projects, repositories, pull requests, pipelines, work items, test results, packages, or permissions.
Why use it?
It helps you find the correct API area and understand the request and response formats instead of guessing from incomplete examples.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

azure-devops-rest-api 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/clone_specs.sh, scripts/find_endpoint.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Azure DevOps REST API

Overview

This skill provides guidance for working with Azure DevOps REST APIs using the official OpenAPI specifications from the vsts-rest-api-specs repository. It helps with implementing new API integrations, understanding API capabilities, and referencing the correct request/response formats.

Key API Areas

Azure DevOps REST APIs are organized into the following main areas:

Core Services

  • core - Projects, teams, processes, and organization-level operations
  • git - Repositories, branches, pull requests, commits
  • build - Build definitions, builds, and build resources
  • pipelines - Pipeline definitions and runs
  • release - Release definitions, deployments, and approvals

Work Item & Planning

  • wit (Work Item Tracking) - Work items, queries, and work item types
  • work - Boards, backlogs, sprints, and team configurations
  • testPlan - Test plans, suites, and cases
  • testResults - Test runs and results

Package & Artifact Management

  • artifacts - Artifact feeds and packages
  • artifactsPackageTypes - NuGet, npm, Maven, Python packages

Security & Governance

  • graph - Users, groups, and memberships
  • security - Access control lists and permissions
  • policy - Branch policies and policy configurations
  • audit - Audit logs and events

Extension & Integration

  • extensionManagement - Extensions and marketplace
  • serviceEndpoint - Service connections
  • hooks - Service hooks and subscriptions

API Specification Structure

The vsts-rest-api-specs repository is organized by API area and version:

specification/
  ├── {api-area}/          (e.g., git, build, pipelines)
  │   ├── 7.2/            Latest stable version
  │   │   ├── {area}.json          OpenAPI spec file
  │   │   └── httpExamples/        Example requests/responses
  │   ├── 7.1/
  │   └── ...

Using the Specifications

  1. Identify the API area - Determine which service area (git, build, wit, etc.) contains the functionality needed
  2. Select the version - Use the latest version (7.2) unless targeting a specific Azure DevOps Server version
  3. Review the OpenAPI spec - The main {area}.json file contains all endpoints, schemas, and parameters
  4. Check httpExamples - Real request/response examples for each endpoint

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.

Changes

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.
