Decline a team join request
Decline one person's request to join a team you lead.
MCP tool lichess_write → decline_team_join_request
write Confirm
Removes the request from the pending list and moves it to the declined list, which list_team_join_requests returns with declined set to true. Needs a team leader role. The applicant is turned away, so it reaches another person. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
