Caveat — work board ≠ code repo: when resolving a bare numeric ID
against a workspace whose work board lives in a different
organisation than any of the discovered code repos, the resolved
Args: work_item_url_or_id: A full Azure DevOps work-item URL or a numeric work-item ID. working_directory: Optional path for repository-context resolution when using a numeric ID. |
| get_work_itemA | Fetch a single work item by URL or numeric ID. Returns WorkItemDetail with all fields, area path, parent ID, and a full fields dict for type-specific access. Caveat — work board ≠ code repo: passing a bare numeric ID resolves the org/project from the cached repository context, which can land on the wrong organization when the work board lives in a different tenant than any of the discovered code repos. Prefer passing a full work-item URL whenever one is available. Args: work_item_url_or_id: A full Azure DevOps work-item URL or a numeric work-item ID. working_directory: Optional path for repository-context resolution when using a numeric ID. |

Caveat — work board ≠ code repo: passing a bare numeric ID resolves the org/project from the cached repository context, which can land on the wrong organization when the work board lives in a different tenant than any of the discovered code repos. Prefer passing a full work-item URL whenever one is available — mutations in the wrong tenant are unrecoverable without manual intervention. Args: work_item_url_or_id: A full Azure DevOps work-item URL or a numeric work-item ID. fields: Dict mapping field reference names to new values. working_directory: Optional path for repository-context resolution when using a numeric ID. |

| move_work_items_to_sprintA | Move work items to a target sprint by updating their iteration path. Does not auto-include children — callers decide which IDs to move. Args: project: Azure DevOps project name. work_item_ids: List of work item IDs to move. iteration_path: Target iteration path (e.g. "One\FY26\Q4\2Wk\2Wk22"). working_directory: Optional path for ADO context resolution. |
| clone_work_itemA | Clone a work item into a new item of the same type, addressed by URL or ID. Copies all fields from the source, applies optional overrides, and preserves the parent link. Does not close the source. Caveat — work board ≠ code repo: passing a bare numeric ID resolves the org/project from the cached repository context, which can land on the wrong organization when the work board lives in a different tenant than any of the discovered code repos. Prefer passing a full work-item URL — clones created in the wrong tenant are unrecoverable without manual cleanup. Args: source_work_item_url_or_id: A full Azure DevOps work-item URL or a numeric work-item ID for the source. field_overrides: Optional dict of fields to override in the clone. working_directory: Optional path for repository-context resolution when using a numeric ID. |
