It should be possible to trigger AI Test Case Generation through a REST API

Description

It should be possible to trigger AI Test Case Generation through a REST API.

User friction

Referencing the client's feedback:

We are adopting an agentic workflow to automate key parts of our development lifecycle. A core requirement for this is to have an agent programmatically trigger the AI test case generation for a Jira issue, removing the need for manual user interaction.

Steps to reproduce (right now) / Actual Result:

Currently, this functionality is only accessible through the UI. To use it, users must navigate to Jira and manually select the "Test Case Generation" option, under Requirement or other Test Repo, for example

IMPACT

What would improve if solved:

Enabling this feature via API would support broader automation capabilities, allowing for seamless integration into agent-driven workflows and improving overall development efficiency.

Current workaround:

Currently, users are required to perform this action manually through the Jira UI, as there is no programmatic option available.
