WHEN: "code owners", "view codeowners", "add package owner", "remove package owner", "add label", "remove label", "codeowners blocked PR", "who owns this package", "create service label", "update codeowners cache", "unblock release". INVOKES: azsdk_engsys_codeowner_view, azsdk_engsys_codeowner_add_package_owner, azsdk_engsys_codeowner_add_label_owner, azsdk_check_service_label, azsdk_create_service_label, azsdk_engsys_codeowner_update_cache, azsdk_engsys_codeowner_check_package.

Owners

Name: owners
Author: Azure

Requires: azure-sdk-mcp server

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`azsdk_engsys_codeowner_view`	Query by user, label, package, path
`azsdk_engsys_codeowner_add_*`	Add owners/labels (details)
`azsdk_engsys_codeowner_remove_*`	Remove owners/labels
`azsdk_check_service_label`	Check if service label exists
`azsdk_create_service_label`	Create service label
`azsdk_engsys_codeowner_check_package`	Check if a package has sufficient owners, labels, and service owners
`azsdk_engsys_codeowner_update_cache`	Run the CODEOWNERS cache update pipeline to propagate changes

CLI fallback: azsdk config codeowners CLI when MCP is unavailable.

Repository Resolution

Infer repo from workspace in Azure/azure-sdk-for-* repos. Otherwise, ask.

Workflow

Query — azsdk_engsys_codeowner_view to inspect current state.
Modify — Add/remove owners or labels.
Verify — Re-query to confirm.
Update cache — After all ownership changes are complete, ask the user if they want to run azsdk_engsys_codeowner_update_cache to propagate changes immediately. This is especially important when changes are needed to unblock PRs or releases.

New labels: azsdk_check_service_label → azsdk_create_service_label → PR merged → azsdk_engsys_codeowner_add_package_label. See data model.

Checking Package Readiness

Use azsdk_engsys_codeowner_check_package with a package directoryPath to verify a package has sufficient owners, PR labels, and service owners. This is useful to diagnose why a PR or release is blocked due to missing ownership.

Examples

"Add @user to azure-core in azure-sdk-for-python"
"Who owns azure-storage-blob?"
