## Configuration Options

The jira-ai tool supports extensive configuration through settings files. You can define:

- Allowed Jira projects
- Allowed commands
- Allowed Confluence spaces
- Default behaviors for various operations

Example settings structure:
```yaml
defaults:
  allowed-jira-projects:
    - all                     # Allow all projects
  allowed-commands:
    - all                     # Allow all commands
  allowed-confluence-spaces:
    - all                     # Allow all Confluence spaces

organizations:
  work:
    allowed-jira-projects:
      - PROJ                  # Allow specific project
      - key: PM               # Project-specific config
        commands:
          - issue.get         # Only allow reading issues
        filters:
          participated:
            was_assignee: true
    allowed-commands:
      - issue                 # All issue commands
      - project.list          # Only project list
      - user.me               # Only user me
    allowed-confluence-spaces:
      - DOCS
```

## Benefits

- **Efficient API Usage**: Minimizes the number of API calls needed to perform common operations
- **Batch Operations**: Process multiple items at once to reduce API usage
- **Smart Filtering**: Use JQL to retrieve only the specific data needed
- **Local Processing**: Handle operations locally before sending targeted requests to Jira
- **Configuration-Based Access Control**: Define allowed commands and projects to prevent unauthorized operations
- **Specific Command Targeting**: Get only the information needed, reducing payload sizes and API usage

## Security Considerations

- Store API tokens securely in environment files
- Use configuration-based access controls to limit operations
- Regularly rotate API tokens
- Limit permissions to the minimum required for operations
