The Rovo Agent has the ability currently Create PRs, Merge PRs and Comment on PRs in bitbucket cloud

Is there any plan or can I request that you all consdier  adding  the ability for the Agent to Read PR's assocated to JIRA tickets? Ok of the "tasks" that woudl be benifical 

  • Check approvals by assgined reviews
  • Check PR comments from others or ROVO Code Review agent (which we currently use)
  • Any other READ only access to a PR assicocated to a ticket as it would help with building confidence with the Agent before having another attempt to MERGE the code when repository merge rules are met. 

I'm attempting to build my team a "Scum Master Agent" for my company and being able to check and read ticket PR status would really help with our flows for this.

Hello Jarryd,

you are right that the in-product Rovo agent skill catalog is thin on the Bitbucket side. The official Rovo Chat capabilities page only lists one Bitbucket skill today, "Comment on PR", and there is no documented read skill for PRs, reviewer approvals, or comments yet. So your Scrum Master Agent really cannot get that data through Rovo skills as things stand.

The good news is there is already a public suggestion ticket for exactly the use case you described, including reviewer comments coming back into the agent. It is AI-1240, "Ingest comments from Bitbucket Cloud pull requests to Rovo and allow Rovo to read the content", currently with status "Gathering Interest". Voting and watching it is the most useful action while Atlassian gauges demand:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/AI-1240

For documentation that this is genuinely the current state and not just a missing entry, the canonical Rovo Chat skills list is here, and the Bitbucket row at the bottom is what you have today:

https://support.atlassian.com/rovo/docs/chat-actions/

As a workaround you can already build today, the Atlassian Rovo MCP Server exposes the read operations you described as proper tools, and is a separate surface from the in-product Rovo agent. Under the read_bitbucket permission group, the bitbucketPullRequest tool ships with the actions list, get, comments, and diff, all under the read:pullrequest:bitbucket scope. That gives you reviewer participation and approval state via get, the comment thread (including ones from the Rovo Code Review agent) via comments, and the diff via diff. Full tool inventory:

https://support.atlassian.com/atlassian-rovo-mcp-server/docs/supported-tools/

The catch is that Bitbucket Cloud tools on the MCP server currently only support API token auth with scopes (OAuth is on the roadmap), and your workspace must be linked to an Atlassian organization, with API token authentication enabled by an org admin under Admin Hub > Rovo > Rovo MCP Server. If your Scrum Master Agent runs in any MCP-capable client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, your own runtime), you can wire it up there while waiting for the in-product skill catalog to catch up via AI-1240.

Greetings,

Alex
