Approve holiday request
Approves a holiday request that is assigned to you.
MCP tool peoplehr_write → approve_holiday_request
write Confirm
Approves the request as the account that is signed in, which must be its approver. PeopleHR then tells the employee in Feed. A decided request cannot be changed: it has to be deleted and submitted again. A request that is already decided fails with an error. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| request_id string required | string | Request ID from list_holiday_requests. |
| comment string | string | Comment the employee sees with the decision. |
