Approve or deny time off
Approve or deny a time off request waiting for you.
MCP tool bamboohr_write → decide_time_off_request
write Confirm
Approves or denies one request from your inbox. In a multi-level approval workflow the request moves on to the next approver after your approval, and the employee is told only after the last one; a denial ends the process and the employee is told. As an admin who is not the next approver, set override to use Approve Anyway. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
