Configure the intended operations

Replace PROJ, PROJ-123, and PROJ-456 with a project and issues you can access. The final two active calls create worklogs; comment them out when trying only search and detail reads.

The “read-only” agent_specific still inherits comment and worklog tools. Add enable_add_comment=False, enable_add_worklog=False alongside enable_create_issue=False. For agent_worklog, disable enable_create_issue if issue creation is outside its purpose.

search_issues returns up to fifty results by default and does not expose a pagination cursor. A request for “all issues” is not a guarantee that the whole project was retrieved.

Run the Example

Set up your virtual environment

uv venv --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies

uv pip install -U agno jira openai

Export environment variables

export JIRA_SERVER_URL="your_jira_server_url_here"
export JIRA_TOKEN="your_jira_token_here"
export JIRA_USERNAME="your_jira_username_here"
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key_here"

Choose Jira authentication

For Jira Cloud, use your account email as JIRA_USERNAME and an API token as JIRA_TOKEN; the adapter sends them as HTTP Basic credentials. JIRA_PASSWORD is an alternative only for a server that supports password authentication. A token without a username is not sent as bearer authentication.

Run the example

Save the code above as jira_tools.py, then run:

python jira_tools.py
