FAQ
Q: What is the git_key parameter?
A: The git_key parameter is a Personal Access Token (PAT) with permissions to create and manage pull request comments. This is used to authenticate with the Azure DevOps API and is separate from the AI provider API key.
Q: How do I create a PAT for the git_key parameter?
A: To create a Personal Access Token:
- Go to your Azure DevOps profile settings
- Select "Personal access tokens"
- Create a new token with "Code (read and write)" and "Pull Request Threads (read and write)" scopes
- Store this token securely as a pipeline variable
Q: What permissions are required for Build Administrators?
A: Build Administrators must be given "Contribute to pull requests" access. Check this Stack Overflow answer for guidance on setting up permissions.
Q: What do the severity levels mean?
A: The AI Code Review tool categorizes issues by severity:
- [Critical]: Serious bugs that could cause crashes, security vulnerabilities, or data loss
- [High]: Important issues that should be fixed, including significant bugs or performance problems
- [Medium]: Issues that should be addressed but aren't urgent, such as moderate performance issues or code structure problems
- [Low]: Minor suggestions for improvement, such as style issues or small optimizations
