+Set up the Jira Cloud webhook of an event-based Jira automation.
+
+Registers a custom webhook source in OpenHands and the matching admin webhook in
+Jira Cloud. The two share a signing secret that is generated or rotated here and is
+never printed, so it does not enter the conversation. A webhook that already exists
+on both sides is updated in place and keeps its secret.
+
+Usage:
+  python3 setup_webhook.py apply  --jira-base-url URL --jira-email EMAIL --openhands-host HOST
+  python3 setup_webhook.py delete --jira-base-url URL --jira-email EMAIL --openhands-host HOST
+
+  --jira-token-env NAME  environment variable holding the Jira API token (default JIRA_CLOUD_KEY)
+  --source NAME          OpenHands webhook source (default "jira")
+  --label LABEL          Jira label the webhook is limited to (default "create-pr")
+  --jql JQL              JQL filter to use instead of the label
+  --name NAME            name of the webhook in Jira
+  --dry-run              apply only: report what would change, change nothing
+  --rotate-secret        apply only: give an existing pair a new signing secret; without
+                         it a webhook that exists on both sides keeps the one it has
+
+Environment:
+  OPENHANDS_API_KEY      API key for the OpenHands deployment

Share the Agent Canvas link from `OpenHandsAPI.app_conversation_ui_url(app_conversation_id)` (the conversation's `conversation_ui_url`, falling back to `<base_url>/canvas/conversations/<id>`).
 
 Keep delegated prompts self-contained: include the repository, branch, relevant files, constraints, and expected output. Prefer five or fewer concurrently running delegated conversations.
