Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| create_storyA | Creates a new Jira Story from a PRD. Formats the description with acceptance criteria and an optional Outline PRD link, sets labels and priority, and (if an Outline URL is supplied) attaches it as a remote link. Returns the created issue key, id, and browse URL. |
| get_storyA | Retrieves a Story by its issue key (e.g. PRD-42). Returns the key fields an AI agent needs: summary, description, status, labels, priority, and browse URL. |
| update_storyA | Updates fields of an existing Story (e.g. after human approval edits). Only the fields you supply are changed. Returns { success, key }. |
| search_storiesA | Searches for Stories in the configured project using a plain-text query (wrapped in JQL). Useful for checking duplicates before creating a new Story. Returns an array of { key, summary, status, labels, url }. |
| get_project_infoA | Returns metadata for a Jira project: project key/name, available priorities, and the issue type id for Stories. Defaults to the configured project; pass project_key to target another. Use this to validate input before creating issues. |
| add_commentA | Adds a plain-text comment to a Story. Used, for example, to log when the PRD doc is updated in Outline. Returns { success, comment_id }. |
| transition_storyA | Moves a Story through its workflow (e.g. To Do -> In Progress -> Done). Call without |
| delete_storyA | PERMANENTLY deletes a Story by issue key. This is irreversible. Guarded: without confirm:true it returns a warning instead of deleting. Intended for human-approved cleanup only. |
| list_projectsA | Lists all Jira projects visible to the account. Returns key, name, id and project type for each. Use this to discover which project_key to pass to other tools when working across multiple projects. |
| create_projectA | Creates a new Jira project (admin only). Guarded: requires confirm:true. Some Jira versions require a template_key; if creation fails for that reason, retry with template_key. |
| create_issue_typeA | Creates a new issue type in Jira (admin only). Guarded: requires confirm:true. Issue types are global across the instance. |
| list_boardsA | Lists Jira Software Agile boards (scrum/kanban). Returns board id, name and type. The board id is needed to list sprints and fetch burndown data. Requires Jira Software (Agile) on the instance. |
| list_sprintsA | Lists sprints for a given Agile board. Returns sprint id, name, state, and start/end dates. Use the sprint id with get_sprint_burndown. Requires a scrum board. |
| get_sprint_burndownA | Returns burndown data for a sprint so the AI can analyze/summarize progress (this is data, not a rendered chart image). Includes a reliable computed summary (committed vs completed vs remaining story points, issue counts by status) plus best-effort raw GreenHopper burndown time-series. Requires Jira Software. |
| create_boardA | Creates a Jira Software Agile board (scrum/kanban) from an existing saved filter. Guarded: requires confirm:true. Requires Jira Software and permission to manage boards. |
| create_sprintA | Creates a sprint on a scrum board. Guarded: requires confirm:true. Requires Jira Software. |
