Can I see if a build pipeline failed via the AI?

Yes! Use the `list_builds` tool and provide the Project ID. Your agent will retrieve the history of recent executions, including their final status (succeeded, failed, inProgress).

How do I list the Git repositories for a project?

Run the `list_repositories` query with your Project ID. The agent will return all Git repositories associated with that project in your Azure DevOps account.

Is it possible to see recent bugs or tasks assigned to a project?

Absolutely. Use the `list_work_items` tool. Your agent will retrieve a list of recent work items, including bugs, tasks, and stories, for the specified project.
