And yes, Bill wrote the riff, I don't believe that gardener story for a second.

Maybe some possible things that might have influenced Jumpin Jack Flash
The Stones producer Jimmy Miller produced Buffalo Springfield and I think the Stones would have heard Mr Soul in 1967.
Mr Soul has a Satisfaction/Jumpin Jack Flash combo sort of riff and a similar temp to Jumpin Jack Flash.
Sometimes Keith plays the JJF riff in a more Mr Soul way like in the Rock and Roll Circus.
I suppose if Buffalo Springfield could take some things from Satisfaction then it's ok if the Stones were to take some things from Buffalo Springfield for a bit of inspiration.
The lyrics of Mr Soul contain
I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
[thrasherswheat.org]
The old nursery rhyme has a jumping jack
[en.wikipedia.org]
Keith's gardener's nickname "Jumping Jack" could have come from the nursery rhyme.
Maybe the gardener wasn't very nimble, hence the joke nickname.

Jimmy Miller never produced the Buffalo Springfield.

Mick in ACCORDING TO THE ROLLING STONES (p.116): "I remember the recording session for `Jumpin' Jack Flash', and not liking the way it was done very much. It was a bit haphazard—and although the end result was pretty good, it was not quite what I wanted. The fidelity wasn't that great; it wasn't quite as in your face as it could have been."
I love it, but I do wonder what it would have been like with straight electric guitars, rather than overloaded acoustic guitars.
The majority of the guitars are electric.
There's contradictory info regarding whether Olympic Studios was 4 or 8 track by this time. If it were still 4 track, then perhaps the whole recording process, plus bouncing down degraded things a bit too far for Micks liking.

Jack Nitzsche apparently helped produce "Mr Soul" in early 1967 and he was also working with the Stones Flowers after this in mid 1967.
So it looks pretty likely that the Stones heard "Mr Soul" in 1967.
And Jack Nitzsche's name is Jack for what it's worth.

He was working on a compilation album?

Keith seems to have got the Satisfaction riff from the horn riff of Nowhere to Run by Martha and the Vandellas.

They soon shed these types of sounds for the rootsier Beggars Banquet approach.
