Azure DevOps
Azure DevOps connects your repositories, work items, and pipelines to an investigation. Antimetal uses a read-only Personal Access Token to inspect repos, pull requests, work items, pipelines, wikis, and test plans.
What Antimetal does with Azure DevOps
- Read repositories, branches, commits, and pull requests to find the change that caused a failure
- Inspect build definitions, runs, and logs to see which pipeline broke and where
- Read work items and queries for the context behind a change
- Search wikis and test plans for the runbook or coverage relevant to the failure
Connecting Azure DevOps
Only connect this if your team uses Azure DevOps for source control, work items, or pipelines. It is not required for the Azure cloud integration.
Prerequisites
- An Azure DevOps organization
- Permission to create Personal Access Tokens
- Access to the projects you want Antimetal to inspect
In Azure DevOps, click your profile icon and select User Settings > Personal Access Tokens.
Click + New Token, name it
Antimetal, select the organization, set an expiration matching your rotation policy, and choose Custom defined scopes.Select Read only for Code, Work items, Build, Test Management, Wiki, and Project and team. Do not enable any write, manage, or execute scopes. See Microsoft's Personal Access Tokens guide.
Click Create, then copy the token value — it is only shown once.
Paste your Organization URL (
https://dev.azure.com/<your-org>) and the Personal Access Token, then click Connect.
Permissions and access
Antimetal uses a read-only PAT. No write operations are performed in your Azure DevOps organization. Tokens are stored encrypted. Azure DevOps PATs have a maximum one-year lifetime — rotate before expiration and update the credential in Antimetal. Revoke access at any time by deleting the token.
