Azure DevOps Integration

AI agents for Azure DevOps. Stop copying numbers off the board.

Connect Azure DevOps to renlyAI and ask your backlog real questions. The agent queries work items, traces blocked chains, generates sprint reports from live data, and reads project wikis, all from one conversation.

Why renlyAI for Azure DevOps

Your delivery data is all in ADO. Getting it out is the job nobody wants.

Sprint reports, status updates, blocked-item chasing, dependency tracing. It is all manual today, and it eats hours every week. renlyAI queries Azure DevOps directly and does the reporting for you, with the real numbers.

What it does

Six things you can ask today.

Every example is grounded in tools shipped in renlyAI's Azure DevOps connector. Available now on Pro and above.

Sprint report

"Generate the sprint report for the current iteration."

Agent pulls sprint status, metrics, completed and remaining work, and writes a structured report from live data.

What is blocked

"What is blocked right now and what is causing it?"

Agent finds all blocked items and traces each blocked chain up to three levels deep so you see the real root cause.

Backlog query

"Show me all active bugs assigned to the platform team."

Agent discovers the exact area path, runs the query, and lists the items with state, assignee, and priority.

Definition of Ready check

"Check the top 10 backlog items for a clear description and acceptance criteria."

Agent pulls full work item detail and flags items missing a description or acceptance criteria before sprint planning.

Team workload

"Who on the team is overloaded this sprint?"

Agent reports workload per team member so you can rebalance before the sprint slips.

Read the wiki

"Find the deployment runbook in the project wiki."

Agent lists the project wikis, reads the relevant page, and surfaces the documentation you need without leaving chat.

Under the hood

Every Azure DevOps tool the agent has.

No black box. The agent discovers your exact area and iteration paths before it queries, so filters always match your real ADO hierarchy.

query_work_itemsFind work items by state, type, assignee, area
get_work_item_detailsFull detail including acceptance criteria
get_sprint_statusSprint progress and metrics
get_blocked_itemsFind all blocked work items
ado_get_blocked_chainTrace blockers up to three levels deep

ado_execute_wiqlRun custom WIQL queries
get_team_workloadWorkload per team member
ado_list_wikisList and read project wikis

Governance, not a free-for-all.

An AI agent connected to your delivery system should be transparent and controllable. renlyAI is both.

  • The agent discovers your real area and iteration paths before querying, so it never invents a filter.
  • Every action is logged to the audit trail with timestamp, agent, user, and the Azure DevOps response.
  • Three connection methods, built-in OAuth, MCP server with a personal access token, or customer-managed OAuth, to match your security policy.
  • Org-level kill switch halts all agent activity instantly.
  • Per-organisation isolation. Your Azure DevOps data is never visible to another renlyAI customer.
FAQ

Common questions.

Can renlyAI query Azure DevOps work items?

Yes. The agent queries work items by state, type, assignee, area, and iteration. It can also run custom WIQL queries for complex searches and pull full work item detail including description and acceptance criteria.

Can it generate sprint reports?

Yes. The agent pulls sprint status, metrics, team workload, and recently changed items, then writes a structured sprint report from the live data. No copying numbers by hand.

Does it read Azure DevOps wikis and code?

Yes. The agent can list and read project wikis to access documentation. It also has tools to work with repository context for engineering questions.

How do I connect Azure DevOps?

renlyAI supports a built-in OAuth connector, an MCP server with a personal access token, or customer-managed OAuth. Pick the method that matches your security requirements.

Can it trace what is blocking a work item?

Yes. The agent can trace a blocked chain up to three levels deep and show the parent and child hierarchy from Epic to Feature to Story to Task.
