| Tool | Purpose |

| --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |

| azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdk | Check release readiness and/or trigger the release pipeline |

Steps

  • Collect Info — Get packageName and language from the user. Optionally get branch (defaults to main).
  • Determine Intent — If the user explicitly asks to "check readiness" or "check if ready", run azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdk with checkReady: true. Otherwise, proceed to trigger the release directly.
  • Trigger Release — Run azure-sdk-mcp:azsdk_release_sdk with checkReady: false (the default). Show pipeline link and inform user they must approve the release stage.
  • Review Results — If the release fails due to readiness issues, display failing checks and guide user to resolve.

Examples

  • "Check if azure-storage-blob is ready for release"
  • "Trigger release for @azure/core-rest-pipeline on JavaScript"

Troubleshooting

  • If readiness check fails, review each failing prerequisite individually before re-triggering.
  • Requires azure-sdk-mcp server. No CLI fallback — prompt user to configure MCP if unavailable.
