Submit report
Submits a draft report to the workspace approval workflow.
MCP tool expensify_write → submit_report
write Confirm
Sends the report to the approver set by the workspace. If the workspace has no approval workflow, Expensify shows Mark as done and the call returns status done instead of submitted. A report cannot be submitted when every expense is on hold or every transaction is a pending Expensify Card transaction. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
