Approve a request
Approve an absence request, shift booking, swap or unassignment request.
MCP tool quinyx_write → approve_request
write Confirm
Approving an absence request changes the schedule: each shift in the period is unassigned, deleted, reassigned or kept, as you set in shift_actions. The approved request leaves the Needs Approval list. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
