Create Issues with Natural Language:
Human: Create a new Epic called "User Authentication System" in the DEMO project
AI Assistant: I'll create that Epic for you using the createIssue tool:
□ Project: DEMO

□ Creating issue now...
✅ Created Epic DEMO-142: "User Authentication System"
Advanced Search & Analysis:
Human: Find all high-priority bugs assigned to me that were created last week
AI Assistant: I'll search for your high-priority bugs from last week:
□ Use enhancedSearchIssues with modern JQL API: "assignee = currentUser() AND priority = High AND issueType = Bug AND created >= -7d"
□ Enhanced API returns full issue details (no IDs-only limitation)
□ Found 3 matching issues with complete data in single API call
□ Analyzing priority, status, and resolution timeframes...
Found 3 high-priority bugs: DEMO-140, DEMO-138, DEMO-135 - details attached.
Sprint Management & Agile Workflows:
Human: Show me the current sprint status and add issue DEMO-123 to the active sprint
AI Assistant: I'll check your sprint status and add the issue:
□ Use listSprints to find active sprint for your board
□ Use getSprintIssues to see current sprint contents
□ Use addIssueToSprint to add DEMO-123
□ Provide sprint summary with updated issue count
