Short answer

How can I check my Gerrit repo state with AI?

Your AI uses Gerrit tools to list projects, check branches, and pull specific change details. This gives you a clear view of your commit history and branch status.

The outcomes

What you'll see in your chat

The AI pulls data from Gerrit to provide these specific results.

BRANCH DATA

Current branch status

The AI identifies existing branches and their details. You'll know exactly which branches are available for your work.

COMMIT HISTORY

Verified change details

Your agent pulls specific change information. This confirms the history of a commit so you don't work on old code.

PROJECT LIST

Repository overview

The AI scans your Gerrit instance to find specific projects. You get a quick list of all available repositories.

HUMAN ACTION

Manual code review

The AI provides the data, but you still handle the actual code review. It does the lookup so you can focus on the logic.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI follows a sequence to find and inspect your Gerrit data.

  1. Find projects

    The AI identifies the relevant repositories in your Gerrit instance.

    list_projects

  2. Check branches

    It looks through the branches in a project to find the right version.

    list_branches

  3. Get change info

    The agent pulls metadata for a specific change or commit.

    get_change

  4. Verify state

    The AI compares the requested branch or change against the actual Gerrit data.

    get_change
