jira_bulk_transition

DestructiveIdempotent

Bulk transition Jira issues to a desired workflow status in one request, avoiding the need to update each issue individually.

Instructions

Jira connector operation bulk_transition (platform tool jira.bulk_transition).

Routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority.

Args: arguments: JSON string of arguments for the connector operation. project_id: Authenticated Project UUID. project_ref: Exact project correlation reference. connector_account_ref: Project-bound connector account alias. idempotency_key: Stable business-action identity. effect: Claimed read or write effect; Spring verifies it. approval_ref: Approved platform task UUID when resuming a write.

TDQS

C2.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already cover readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, and idempotentHint=true. The description adds useful governance context: it routes through a governed connector authority, claims an effect that Spring verifies, and requires an approval_ref when resuming a write. However, it never discloses that the underlying operation mutates Jira issue workflow state.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is compact and well organized as an argument list, with the routing constraint front-loaded. There is little wasted prose, though the opening sentence is somewhat tautological and the argument list lacks domain depth.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a 7-parameter destructive mutation tool with no schema descriptions, this is incomplete. An agent still cannot determine what a valid `arguments` JSON looks like, when bulk transition is appropriate versus single-issue transition, or what workflow action will be performed. The presence of an output schema mitigates return-value concerns but not the missing core semantics.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With 0% schema description coverage, the description must carry the semantic load. It names all 7 parameters with brief explanations, which helps more than the schema alone, but the central `arguments` parameter is left as 'JSON string of arguments for the connector operation' with no indication of the required Jira transition payload shape, such as issue keys or transition IDs.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose2/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description mostly restates the tool's identity as 'Jira connector operation bulk_transition' without defining what bulk transition actually does to Jira issues. It does not explain that it moves multiple issues through workflow states, nor does it distinguish itself from sibling jira_transition_issue beyond the word 'bulk' in the name.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to choose this tool over jira_transition_issue, jira_list_transitions, or jira_update_issue. The phrase 'routes only through the exact project/account governed connector authority' is a routing constraint, not a usage recommendation, and no alternatives or exclusions are mentioned.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
