Publish draft shifts
Publish the draft shifts of a location between two dates to the team.
MCP tool deputy_write → publish_shifts
write Confirm
Publishes every draft shift of one location between two dates, so the team sees them. Returns how many were published. Employees may be notified by Deputy, so it waits for you. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
