Agent execution for Azure DevOps

Agents that execute work across Azure DevOps.

Run rule-based and planner-driven workflows across Azure Boards, Repos, Pipelines, Test Plans, Wiki, and release processes. Trigger agents manually, from Azure DevOps events, or on a schedule. Set approval boundaries, verify outputs, and inspect every run.

From event to verified result

An agent run is a controlled workflow — not an open-ended prompt.

Every run begins with a defined trigger and scope, loads the permitted Azure DevOps context, acts within its allowed tools, verifies the result, and records what happened.

1

Trigger

A request, ADO event, schedule, or API call starts the run.

2

Context

It loads the permitted work items, code, runs, results, and policies.

3

Decide

It applies versioned rules or plans a sequence within scope.

4

Act

It analyzes, drafts, updates data, or invokes an approved operation.

5

Approve

Actions with side effects pause for the right reviewer.

6

Verify

Post-action checks confirm the expected result exists.

7

Record

The run record captures inputs, actions, approvals, and outcome.

Reusable automation, not one-off prompting

A chat gives you an answer.
A configured workflow gets the work done.

Chat may be one way to start work. But the product is the controlled run — scoped context, approved tools, permitted actions, approval rules, verification, and history.

A one-off AI request
  • You supply the context manually, every time
  • Instructions vary by person and session
  • Output gets copied into another tool
  • No persistent trigger, scope, or verification rule
A configured Agents4DevOps workflow
  • Context is loaded from approved Azure DevOps sources
  • Instructions, skills, and tools are versioned
  • Actions occur only in the permitted scope
  • The run follows repeatable approval & verification controls
Six workflow families

Automate the work surrounding software delivery.

Start with the outcome your team needs. Each workflow defines its trigger, Azure DevOps context, execution method, actions, approval boundary, verification, and run record.

Plan & specify

Backlog readiness, acceptance criteria, epic decomposition, duplicate detection, requirements quality, dependencies, and change impact.

Boards · Wiki

Develop & review

PR review, work-item linkage, code-owner routing, defect investigation, code change impact, security findings, and follow-up work.

Repos · Boards

Build & release

Pipeline diagnosis, run comparison, config audit, remediation, deployment readiness, release planning, notes, rollback, and approval checks.

Pipelines · Repos

Test & validate

Test generation, coverage gaps, test-run execution, failed-test triage, flaky-test diagnosis, defect creation, regression, and sign-off reports.

Test Plans · Boards

Operate & respond

Incident investigation, change correlation, runbook maintenance, status updates, approved remediation, and recurring operational checks.

Pipelines · Repos

Govern & evidence

Traceability audits, baseline checks, branch and approval controls, standards mapping, validation readiness, and evidence-package assembly.

Control what each workflow can do

Configure the scope. Govern the actions.

Automate routine work without giving every agent unrestricted access — or treating every task as an open-ended prompt.

CONFIGURE

Set the boundaries of the run

  • Organizations, projects, teams, repos, pipelines, and work-item types
  • Triggers, schedules, instructions, models, skills, and tools
  • Read scope, write actions, output destinations, and verification rules
  • Industry terminology, standards mappings, and your own templates
GOVERN

Decide where humans stay in the loop

  • Read-only, draft, update, change-creation, and operational levels
  • Approval requirements by action and workflow
  • Retries, errors, cancellations, and exception paths
  • Run history with actor and approval attribution
Agents prepare, validate, and execute permitted work. Qualified people retain responsibility for safety, compliance, certification, and go/no-go decisions.

Governance & verification

See what an agent can access, what it can change, and where approval is required.

The trust story is built on observable execution facts — the data flow, permission boundary, approval controls, verification, and run history for every run.

Approval

Human checkpoints

Actions with defined side effects pause for the appropriate reviewer before execution.

Verify

Post-action verification

A completed run isn't treated as successful until the expected state, link, or result is confirmed present.

Record

Run history

Each run captures the trigger, inputs, actions, approvals, outputs, errors, and verification result.

Access

Scoped permissions

Existing Azure DevOps permissions, product roles, project scope, and tool permissions are enforced per run.

Industry packs

Apply the engineering controls your industry requires.

Industry packs configure terminology, classification logic, traceability relationships, review gates, standards mappings, and evidence structures. Agents prepare and validate the work; qualified people retain the final decision.

15 industry packs — from general software delivery to the most heavily regulated programmes.

Common questions

Straight answers for technical evaluators.

Is Agents4DevOps another chat interface?

No. Chat may be one way to start work, but the product story is the controlled run: a defined trigger, scoped context, approved tools, permitted actions, approval rules, verification, and execution history.

Can agents update Azure DevOps directly?

Yes — within scope. Deterministic execution agents can update structured fields; planner-style agents prepare or analyze work and request approval before write actions. The exact action matrix is published per your configuration.

Does it replace engineers or compliance specialists?

No. Agents remove repetitive analysis, maintenance, and coordination work. Qualified people retain responsibility for architecture, safety, compliance, certification, and go/no-go decisions.

How is it priced?

By execution capacity, not per user. Credits are consumed by model tokens, tool calls, orchestration steps, and execution time — so you can invite everyone who needs visibility. See plans & credits →
