When manually queuing a multi-stage YAML pipeline, you can specify which stages to include/exclude by deselecting them in Stages. Similarly, the Azure DevOps REST API allows you to accomplish the same thing by specifying the stagesToSkip in the post BODY..

POST https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/pipelines/{pipelineId}/runs?api-version=7.2-preview.1

Body:

{
  "stagesToSkip": [
     "test",
     "uat",
     "prod"
  ]
}

Is there any endpoint that can be used to query which stages were intended for the pipeline run?

Scenarios:

• Suppose I want to programmatically locate all builds that were queued manually but excluded a specific environment?
• Execute a script in the pipeline to determine which future actions will be taken. For example, if I have deselected the Performance-Test stage, i can alter the compilation step. I know I can do this via pipeline variables or parameter inputs, but the “Stages to Run” is an equivalent of user-intent.
