Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:587-645 (handler)The handler function that executes the tool logic: sends a PUT request to Jira API /rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey} to update ticket fields including summary, description (in ADF format), labels, and parent.
async function editTicket( issueIdOrKey?: string, summary?: string, description?: string, labels?: string[], parent?: string, ): Promise<any> { try { const descriptionToSend = description || 'No description provided'; const jiraDescription = description === null ? undefined : { type: 'doc', version: 1, content: [ { type: 'paragraph', content: [ { type: 'text', text: descriptionToSend, }, ], }, ], }; const parentToSend = parent ? { key: parent } : undefined; //we create the fields object with only the present fields let fields: any = { summary: summary, labels: labels, parent: parentToSend, }; if (description) { fields['description'] = jiraDescription; } const response = await axios.put( `${JIRA_URL}/rest/api/3/issue/${issueIdOrKey}`, { fields: fields, }, { headers: getAuthHeaders().headers, }, ); return response.data; } catch (error: any) { return { error: error.response.data, }; } } - src/index.ts:158-190 (schema)Input schema and metadata for the 'edit_ticket' tool, defining parameters and requirements.
