CircleCI
Developers and stakeholders ask about build failures, pipeline status, and deployment progress constantly. Your AI agent taps directly into CircleCI's API to surface job details, test results, and artifacts, turning Slack questions into instant CI/CD answers.
Your AI agent pulls real-time pipeline data from CircleCI, so build questions, test failures, and deployment status are answered before anyone opens a dashboard.
CircleCI
From failed builds to deployment requests, see how AI handles the CI/CD questions that interrupt your engineering team dozens of times per day.
A developer messages 'Why did the main branch build fail?' Your AI Agent queries CircleCI for the latest pipeline on main, drills into the failed job, pulls the test metadata revealing 3 failing unit tests with error messages, and shares the details. The developer knows exactly what broke without opening CircleCI's dashboard or scrolling through logs.
An engineer types 'Deploy staging to production.' Your AI Agent triggers a CircleCI pipeline on the release tag with the deploy parameter set to true, confirms the pipeline ID and branch, and monitors the initial workflow status. The deploy kicks off in seconds, and the team gets a confirmation message with a link to track progress.
A PM asks 'Is the v2.4 release build passing?' Your AI Agent lists recent pipelines for the project filtered to the v2.4 branch, identifies the latest run, checks all workflow statuses, and reports that 4 of 5 workflows succeeded with one still running. The PM gets their answer instantly without asking an engineer to check.

FAQs
The agent calls CircleCI's v2 API using the project slug (format: vcs-slug/org-name/repo-name). It retrieves pipeline lists, drills into specific workflows by pipeline ID, and fetches job details by job number. All data is queried live from your CircleCI account, nothing is cached or stored by Tars.
Yes, but you control the guardrails. The agent uses CircleCI's Trigger Pipeline endpoint with branch, tag, and custom parameters. You can configure the agent to require confirmation before triggering, restrict which branches are deployable, or limit triggers to specific user roles in your organization.
Tars requires a CircleCI personal API token, which you generate from your CircleCI User Settings. This token inherits your account permissions. For read-only monitoring, any user token works. For triggering pipelines, the token owner needs project write access. You can revoke the token anytime from CircleCI.
No. Tars queries CircleCI's API for metadata only, such as pipeline status, job timing, test results, and artifact URLs. Your source code, environment variables, and secrets never pass through Tars. Artifact URLs returned are CircleCI's own signed download links.
Yes. The agent calls CircleCI's Get Test Metadata endpoint for the job, which returns individual test names, classnames, run durations, and failure messages. It can summarize failures, highlight the slowest tests, or list all errors, depending on what the user asks for.
CircleCI's Slack orb sends one-way notifications when builds finish. Tars AI Agents are interactive. You can ask follow-up questions like 'Which tests failed?' or 'Trigger a re-run on that branch,' and the agent responds with live data. It is a conversation, not just an alert.
Yes. The agent can list all self-hosted runners configured for your organization using the List Self-Hosted Runners endpoint. It retrieves runner names, resource classes, and availability status. Jobs running on self-hosted runners are tracked the same way as cloud-hosted ones.
Yes. Using the Get Pipeline Config endpoint, the agent retrieves both the source YAML and the compiled configuration for any pipeline by its ID. This helps engineers quickly review what config was used for a specific run without navigating to the CircleCI UI.
Don't limit your AI Agent to basic conversations. Watch how to configure and add powerful tools making your agent smarter and more functional.
