List discrete values for a JIRA field. Supports labels, priorities, statuses, issue types, resolutions, and components. Useful for discovering valid values before creating/updating issues.
AI agents call jira_list_field_values to retrieve information from JIRA MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns metadata about valid field values (labels, priorities, statuses, issue types, resolutions, components) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is purely informational and retrievals-based, matching the Read category.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List[s] discrete values for a JIRA field' and is 'Useful for discovering valid values before creating/updating issues.' The verb 'list' and the stated purpose of discovering/retrieving field metadata indicate read-only data…

List discrete values for a JIRA field. Supports labels, priorities, statuses, issue types, resolutions, and components. Useful for discovering valid values before creating/updating issues. It is categorised as a Read tool in the JIRA MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the JIRA MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for jira_list_field_values: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches JIRA MCP Server. Nothing to install.
jira_list_field_values is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the jira_list_field_values rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for jira_list_field_values. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
jira_list_field_values is provided by the JIRA MCP Server MCP server (suppleaardvark/jira-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
