Jira

APIs for Atlassian Jira project management and issue tracking platform.

agent native

Reference-quality API operations across every facet — a rich contract, published governance, transparent operations, and machine-readable commercial terms.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Jira the way a machine reads it — 200 machine-readable artifacts across 12 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Jira scores 71.2/100 (exemplar), with a separate agent-readiness read of 80/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Jira

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Jira. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 12

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Jira Cloud Platform REST API v2

Version 2 of the Jira Cloud platform REST API, offering the same operations as v3 but without Atlassian Document Format support.

Jira Service Management Operations REST API

Operations APIs for Jira Service Management covering schedules, on-call rotations, alerts, escalations, and incident management.

Jira Align REST API

REST API for Jira Align enterprise agile planning platform, providing access to portfolios, epics, features, and program management data.

Jira Customer Service Management REST API

REST API for Atlassian Customer Service Management providing access to customers, organizations, products, and entitlements data.

Jira Issue Comments API

Manage comments on issues.

Jira Issue Priorities API

Retrieve issue priority levels.

Jira Issue Search API

Search for issues using JQL (Jira Query Language).

Jira Issue Statuses API

Jira Issues API

Create, read, update, delete, and transition Jira issues.

Jira Projects API

Manage Jira projects including metadata, roles, and components.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

Arazzo Workflows 10

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.

Jira Read an Issue Comment Thread and Reply

Read an issue, page through its comment thread oldest-first, then add a reply.

ARAZZO

Jira Create an Issue and Read It Back

Resolve project metadata, create an issue, then read back the stored issue.

ARAZZO

Jira Deduplicate Issue Intake

Search for an existing issue by JQL and either comment on the duplicate or create a new issue.

ARAZZO

Jira Edit an Issue and Verify the Change

Read an issue, apply a field edit and label operations, then re-read to verify.

ARAZZO

Jira Bootstrap Issue Creation Metadata

Cache the projects, issue types, and priorities an issue-creation surface needs.

ARAZZO

Jira Run a JQL Report and Drill Into a Result

Run a JQL search via GET, then drill into the first matching issue and its comments.

ARAZZO

Jira Discover a Project and Its Workflow Statuses

Search projects by name, read the matched project, and map its per-issue-type statuses.

ARAZZO

Jira Safely Delete an Issue

Read an issue and its sub-tasks first, then delete it with an explicit sub-task decision.

ARAZZO

Jira Sweep a Stale Issue Through a Transition

Find stale issues with JQL, annotate the first match, discover its transitions, and close it.

ARAZZO

Jira Transition an Issue to a New Status

Read an issue, discover its legal transitions, apply one, and verify the new status.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Model Context Protocol servers that expose these APIs to AI agents.

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

GraphQL schemas published by this provider.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Jira Plans Pricing

4 plans

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Jira Cloud Webhooks

Jira Cloud webhooks deliver HTTP POST payloads to a configured URL whenever specified events occur in your Jira instance. Webhooks can be registered via the Jira REST API or thr...

Semantic Vocabularies 2

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

JSON Schema 46

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Examples 44

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Security Posture 4

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Scopes 1

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.

Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
