Get work item

This skill always works with one specific work item ID.

• If the user provides an ID (for example: "for 115770" or "work item 115770"), use that ID directly.
• If the user does not provide an ID, prompt the user once to provide the work item ID.
• If the ID is still not provided after prompting, stop and return a clear message stating that a work item ID is required and do not call any tools.

Tools

Use Azure DevOps MCP Server tools for all interactions with Azure DevOps.

• wit_work_item (action: get): Get a work item from Azure DevOps by its ID.
• wit_work_item (action: list_comments): Get the list of comments for a work item by its ID.
• wit_work_item (action: get_batch): Get work item details in batch by their IDs. Use this tool to get the details of linked work items, using the links returned from wit_work_item with action get.

Steps

1. Call wit_work_item with action get and expand=all for the requested ID so that you retrieve fields, relations, and links in a single call.
