Get a single work item: metadata (type, title, state, assignee, area/iteration, tags, dates), rich-text content (description, repro steps, acceptance criteria), relations (parent/children/links) and optionally its comments.

Read many work items in one call (uses the workitemsbatch API, chunked by 200 ids). Missing ids are reported in failed instead of failing the whole request (errorPolicy=omit).

List discussion comments of a work item (paged). Returns comment ids needed for update_work_item_comment.

Update a work item's metadata via JSON Patch. state and assignedTo are mandatory; other fields are optional. Returns the updated work item.

Apply the same update (state + assignedTo, optionally more fields/comment) to many work items. Uses the wit/$batch endpoint (one HTTP request per 200 items) and falls back to parallel single PATCH calls if $batch is unavailable. Per-item results are reported.

Add a discussion comment to a work item. Plain text is converted to HTML; HTML is accepted as-is. Returns the new comment id.

Add one comment text to many work items. The comments API has no batch endpoint, so requests are fanned out with bounded concurrency; per-item results (comment ids / errors) are reported.

Replace the text of an existing comment (use get_work_item_comments to find comment ids).

Read a saved work item query by GUID or path (e.g. 'Shared Queries/Team/Open Bugs'): name, path, type, columns and WIQL text. For folders, children are listed (depth 1).

Execute a saved query by GUID or path and return the matching work items. Optionally append a custom WIQL filter (extraWhere, passed as-is and AND-ed with the query's WHERE clause), e.g. "[System.State] = 'Active' AND [System.Tags] CONTAINS 'hotfix'".

Execute an arbitrary WIQL query string as-is, e.g. "SELECT [System.Id] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project AND [System.State] = 'Active'". Returns the matching work items (flat) or the link tree (tree/oneHop queries).

List Git repositories in a project (or in the whole collection when no project is given), with default branch and URLs.

Read a file from a Git repository at a given branch/commit/tag (default: the repo's default branch). Text files are returned inline; binaries as base64. If the file does not exist, the error explains whether the repository, the branch or the directory is missing and lists the parent directory's entries.

Read several files from one repository at the same branch/commit/tag in a single call. Existence and metadata are checked with one itemsbatch request, then contents are fetched in parallel. Missing files are reported per path with the same verbose diagnostics as get_file_content.

List files and folders under a directory path in a Git repository (one level or full recursion) with metadata: object ids, content type, and the latest commit that touched each entry.

Identify the user behind the configured PAT: id, display name, account (DOMAIN\user or e-mail), descriptor, plus a ready-to-use assignedToValue for update_work_item(s). Also returns basic server info (deployment type, instance id).

Find users or groups by display name, account name or e-mail to obtain a valid assignedTo value. Returns id, display name, unique account name and assignedToValue for each match.
