## Implementation Notes
When implementing these tools, consider:
1. **Authentication**: Ensure proper scope for PAT tokens
2. **Error Handling**: Provide clear error messages for API failures
3. **Rate Limiting**: Consider Azure DevOps API rate limits
4. **Pagination**: Implement pagination for tools that return large datasets
5. **Caching**: Consider caching results where appropriate
6. **User Experience**: Format responses to be human-readable in conversational contexts
