Approve a request
Approve one request from your Inbox.
MCP tool personio_write → approve_request
write Confirm
Approves a time off, attendance or employee data request you are an approver for. If the approval chain has more steps, the request moves to the next approver; otherwise Personio applies the change and notifies the requester. Fails if the task was already handled by you or a delegate. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| request_id string required | string | Approval request ID from list_approval_requests. |
| comment string | string | Optional note for the requester. |
