Two possibilities:

1. items not being installed
2. PATH not set to include /opt/local/bin

The reason Git and Java can work is because they are already in macOS
even as wrappers before Developer Tools are installed:

 $ ls -la /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/git
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 31488 2020-05-19 01:27:38 /usr/bin/git
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel    74 2019-07-20 07:09:55 /usr/bin/java ->
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java

SSH into the machine and run `port install jq` and make sure this
actually can work.

If you don't want to have to specify the full path to jq/etc, make sure
to set PATH to prepend /opt/local/bin.

One method is to do this for only the playbook or task:
