Reported issues for google-jules-mcp-server

Pod holds 20 of 31 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user.

Session change-set outputs are discarded: a session whose result is a patch has no way to surface it

What's the problem?

SessionOutputSchema (src/resources/sessions/schemas.ts:34) models a single field:

export const SessionOutputSchema = z.object({
  pullRequest: PullRequestSchema.optional(),
});

Real sessions return more than that. Session 18290074838581230171 came back with outputs as [changeSet, pullRequest], where the change set carried the complete diff:

outputs[0].changeSet.gitPatch.unidiffPatch  — the full unified diff
outputs[0].changeSet.gitPatch.baseCom

### Trim char-budget constants in activities/format.ts

**What's the problem?**
`src/resources/activities/format.ts:25-31` defines 6 char-budget constants (`SUMMARY_CHAR_BUDGET`, `LIST_ITEM_CHAR_BUDGET`, `LIST_PAGE_CHAR_BUDGET`, `DETAIL_CHAR_BUDGET`, `CHANGE_SET_DIFF_CHAR_BUDGET`, `LIST_ITEM_SLACK`). `LIST_ITEM_SLACK = 150` is self-described over-tuning in its own comment ("Below this the recovery hint costs more than the cut saves").

**Proposed solution**
Collapse to the 2-3 constants that actually gate a different render path. Est. -3 lines, fewer

### Create AGENTS.md

**What's the problem?**
I want to make agent-driven development better by providing context to the AI agents. As I started using Jules for development of this MCP Server, Jules can work better when AGENTS.md file is present.

**Proposed solution**
- Create an AGENTS.md file covering the current project in depth, following best practices for creating AGENTS.md.

**Alternatives considered**
No AGENTS.md exists.

**Sample AGENTS.md for this project**

```bash
# AGENTS.md

## Project Overview
- **Co

### Minimum Codecov coverage threshold

**What's the problem?**
Every time when a new PR is created, if the code coverage drops bellow previous value, Codecov will will fail and the PR will cannot be merged.

**Proposed solution**
Setup a minimum code coverage threshold of 90% with a thresholds of 1%. This is for the entire project.

```yaml
coverage:
  status:
    project:
      default:
        target: 90%      # Minimum expected total coverage percentage
        threshold: 1%    # Allowed drop leeway percentage before failing

jules_get_session_output reports "no pull request was created" when the PR is not first in outputs[]

Describe the bug

session.outputs is a list that can hold more than one entry, and the pull request is not reliably the first one. All three session formatters read index 0 and nothing else:

src/resources/sessions/format.ts:12 — formatSessionList
src/resources/sessions/format.ts:81 — formatSessionStatus
src/resources/sessions/format.ts:112 — formatSessionOutput

When a session emits a change set as well as a PR, index 0 is the change set, so the PR at index 1 is never se

Add a bounded wait-for-completion tool so clients stop hand-rolling poll loops

What's the problem?

Driving a task to completion currently takes an LLM client through a stateful multi-turn loop: jules_create_session, then repeated jules_get_status, deciding each time whether the state is terminal, then jules_list_activities or jules_get_session_output at the end. Every poll is a full round-trip through the model, so the token cost scales with session length, and models are unreliable at keeping this kind of loop going — they stop early, forget the session ID, o

Merge formatSourceSummary and formatSource in sources/format.ts

What's the problem? formatSourceSummary (src/resources/sources/format.ts:3-9) and formatSource (31-40) both render owner/repo + branches; the summary is a trimmed version of the full render.

Proposed solution One formatSource(source, {summary?: boolean}). Est. -5 lines.

Alternatives considered None — straightforward merge, low risk.
