Safely Delete an Issue

Safely Delete an Issue

Works with AI assistants

Inspect a Jira issue and its sub-tasks, then delete it deliberately.

1. Read the issue and its sub-tasks before destroying it, so the caller can record what was deleted and know whether the sub-task flag is required.
2. Delete the inspected issue by the key returned from the read, with an explicit decision about its sub-tasks. Returns 204 with no body on success.

What you'll need to have ready

• issueIdOrKey: The id or key of the issue to delete (e.g. PROJ-123).
• deleteSubtasks: Whether the issue's sub-tasks are deleted along with it. Sent as the string "true" or "false" as the API defines it. A delete against an issue that has sub-task
