Issue Tools

Four tools for managing issues on the board: create, update, delete, and search.

create-issue

Create a new issue in a project.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
project_id	integer	Yes	The project to create the issue in
title	string	Yes	Issue title (max 255 characters)
description	string	Yes	Issue description (max 65,535 characters)
lane_id	integer	No	Lane to place the issue in. Defaults to the first lane if omitted.
priority	integer	No	0 Highest, 1 High, 2 Medium (default), 3 Low, 4 Lowest
type	integer	No	0 Feature (default), 1 Bug
assignee_id	integer	No	User ID to assign. Use project members to find IDs.
sprint_id	integer	No	Sprint to add the issue to
order	integer	No	Display order in the lane (default 0, minimum 0)
blocked_by_ids	array	No	Issue IDs that block this issue (must be in the same project)
blocks_ids	array	No	Issue IDs that this issue blocks (must be in the same project)
estimated_minutes	integer	No	Estimated time in minutes (minimum 0)

Behavior

• If lane_id is omitted, the issue is placed in the project's first lane automatically
• The lane, sprint, and assignee are all validated to belong to the specified project
• Blocking relations must reference issues within the same project
• Returns the created issue with its generated key (e.g., KD-0042), ID, lane, assignee, sprint, and blocking relations

Example Prompt

Create a high-priority bug in the kendo project: "Login form rejects valid email addresses". The form strips everything after a + in the address. Assign it to Jasper.

update-issue

Update an existing issue. Only provided fields are changed — omitted fields keep their current values.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
issue_id	integer	Yes	The issue to update
title	string	No	New title (max 255 characters)
description	string	No	New description (max 65,535 characters)
lane_id	integer	No	Target lane ID to move the issue to (must be in the same project)
priority	integer	No	0 Highest, 1 High, 2 Medium, 3 Low, 4 Lowest
type	integer	No	0 Feature, 1 Bug
assignee_id	integer	No	User ID to assign, or null to unassign
sprint_id	integer	No	Sprint ID, or null to remove from sprint
blocked_by_ids	array	No	Replaces all "blocked by" relations. Omit to preserve, [] to clear.
blocks_ids	array	No	Replaces all "blocks" relations. Omit to preserve, [] to clear.
estimated_minutes	integer	No	Estimated time in minutes, or null to clear

Behavior

• Partial updates: only fields you include are modified. This is different from the API which requires all fields.
• Lane changes: pass lane_id to move an issue to a different lane on the board. The lane must belong to the same project.
• Blocking relations: omitting blocked_by_ids/blocks_ids preserves existing relations. Pass an empty array [] to explicitly clear them.
• Pass null for assignee_id, sprint_id, or estimated_minutes to clear those values.

Example Prompt

Bump KD-42 to highest priority and assign it to Sarah

delete-issue

Permanently delete an issue and all its comments.

Destructive

This action cannot be undone. The issue and all associated comments are permanently removed.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
issue_id	integer	Yes	The issue to delete

Example Prompt

Delete the duplicate issue KD-38, it's the same as KD-42

search-issues

Search issues within a project by text query and/or filters. This tool is read-only and safe to call repeatedly.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
project_id	integer	Yes	The project to search in
query	string	No	Text search across title, description, and issue key (max 200 characters)
lane_id	integer	No	Filter by lane
assignee_id	integer	No	Filter by assignee
sprint_id	integer	No	Filter by sprint
epic_id	integer	No	Filter by epic
priority	integer	No	Filter by priority (0–4)
type	integer	No	Filter by type (0 Feature, 1 Bug)
limit	integer	No	Max results (1–100, default 25)

Behavior

• Results are ordered by most recently updated
• All filters are optional and combine with AND logic
• Returns matching issues with key, title, assignee, priority, and type
• Marked as #[IsReadOnly] and #[IsIdempotent] — safe to call multiple times with no side effects

Example Prompt

Show me all high-priority bugs assigned to Jasper in the kendo project
