Domain knowledge for Tempo — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.

Tempo

Tempo for Jira tracks time through worklogs. Accounts, customers, and workload schemes organize billing and capacity. The Cloud REST API authenticates with a Tempo private API token sent as Authorization: Bearer; this bundle path is token-based only (no OAuth connect).

Data model

  • Worklogs — time entries linked to Jira issues.
  • Accounts — Tempo accounts (often map to Jira projects or billing).
  • Customers — clients for billing.
  • Workload schemes — capacity and allocation rules.

Gotchas

  • Jira coupling: worklogs reference Jira issue keys; Tempo must be installed on the same Jira site.
  • Token expiry: Expired or revoked tokens return 401 — auth failure after a long quiet period usually means the Tempo API token needs renewal on the Jira site.
  • Pagination: accounts/customers/workload schemes/worklogs accept offset + limit.
  • Worklog windows: Bound worklog listing with from_date / to_date (or updated_from) — unbounded lists are slow and often too large.
  • OAuth vs private token: Tempo also ships OAuth 2.0 apps for multi-user integrations; this bundle exposes the private-token path only.
