Azure DevOps ACTION
Query Work Items (WIQL)
Run a Work Item Query Language (WIQL) query and return the matching work item references. Returns ids and the queried columns, not full field values - pass the ids to the List Work Items action to read those. Use this whenever you need to find work by state, type, assignee or date. Example:
SELECT [System.Id] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.WorkItemType] = 'Bug' AND [System.State] <> 'Closed'. WIQL has no offset, so narrow the query itself rather than paging when Limit results come back. See the documentation- Action

IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's Azure DevOps account once, then configure and run Query Work Items (WIQL) from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "azure_devops-query-work-items",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
azure_devops: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
organization: "Organization",
project: "Project",
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// fill the arguments itself:

Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
organization Organization | string | Name of the organization Required Dynamic |
project Project | string | Project ID or project name to scope the query to. Run the List Projects action first to obtain valid values. Omit to query across the whole organization. Optional |
query Query | string | The WIQL query text. Example: SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title], [System.State] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.WorkItemType] = 'Bug' AND [System.State] <> 'Closed' ORDER BY [System.CreatedDate] DESC Required |
limit Limit | integer | Maximum number of work item references to return (1-1000) Optional |
timePrecision Time Precision | boolean | Interpret date values in the query with time precision rather than date-only precision. Optional |
REFERENCE
Tool details
Behavior hints are published with the component in the Pipedream registry and surface as MCP tool annotations, so an agent can reason about a tool before it calls it.
