      Issue Summary:

      When calling MCP tool searchJiraIssuesUsingJql with a minimal projection: { “cloudId”: “xxxxxxxxxxxxx”, “jql”: “project = ABC”, “maxResults”: 100, “responseContentFormat”: “markdown”, “fields”: [“summary”] }, the response returned contains data from 5 other fields and these cannot be removed

      Steps to Reproduce

      Call MCP tool searchJiraIssuesUsingJql with a minimal projection: { “cloudId”: “xxxxxxxxxxxxx”, “jql”: “project = ABC”, “maxResults”: 100, “responseContentFormat”: “markdown”, “fields”: [“summary”] }

      Expected Results

      Response only contains field Summary for the returned work items

      Actual Results

      Data is returned from the below fields: summary, issuetype, project, description, assignee, status

      These fields are always returned and cannot be stripped from the response

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
