    Recommendation: Use parameterized queries with Entity Framework

⚠️  PaymentService.cs (Line 134): API key exposed in log statements  
    Recommendation: Implement structured logging with data redaction

MEDIUM PRIORITY:
⚡ PaymentValidator.cs (Line 23): Missing rate limiting for validation endpoints
    Recommendation: Implement rate limiting middleware

🚀 績效評估:

OPTIMIZATION OPPORTUNITIES:
⚡ PaymentRepository.cs (Line 89): N+1 query pattern detected
   Current: Individual queries for each payment method
   Suggestion: Use Include() for eager loading related data

⚡ PaymentProcessor.cs (Line 156): Synchronous external API calls
   Recommendation: Implement async/await pattern for external payment APIs

⚡ CacheService.cs (Line 45): Cache keys not following naming convention
   Suggestion: Use consistent cache key patterns: "payment:{id}:{version}"

🏗️ 架構合規性:

✅ COMPLIANT AREAS:
- Service registration follows dependency injection patterns
- Configuration properly externalized to appsettings
- Health checks implemented correctly
- OpenAPI documentation generated

Azure DevOps MCP 整合的最佳實踐

安全和存取管理

代幣管理:

  • 使用細粒度的個人存取令牌,並盡量減少所需範圍

  • 實施代幣輪調政策(最長 90 天)

  • 使用 Azure Key Vault 或類似服務安全地儲存令牌

  • 定期審核令牌的使用和存取模式

權限最佳實踐:

{
  "recommended-scopes": [
    "vso.work_write",           // Work item management
    "vso.code_read",            // Repository access
    "vso.build_read",           // Build pipeline monitoring
    "vso.test_read",            // Test result analysis
    "vso.project_read"          // Project information
  ],
  "avoid-scopes": [
    "vso.profile",              // Unnecessary for most use cases
    "vso.connected_server",     // High privilege, rarely needed
    "vso.machinegroup_manage"   // Infrastructure management
  ]
}

效能最佳化

API 使用模式:

  • 對頻繁存取的資料實施智慧型緩存

  • 盡可能使用批次操作來減少 API 呼叫

  • 利用 OData 過濾來最大限度地減少資料傳輸

  • 使用指數退避演算法實現重試邏輯

資源管理:

// Example: Efficient work item querying
const workItemQuery = {
  wiql: `
    SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title], [System.State]
    FROM WorkItems 
    WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project
    AND [System.State] <> 'Closed'
    AND [System.ChangedDate] >= @today-30
    ORDER BY [System.ChangedDate] DESC
  `,
  top: 200  // Limit results for performance
};

整合模式

工作流程整合:

  • 將 MCP 功能嵌入現有的開發工作流程中
