Add time off
Add vacation, a public holiday, sick leave or other time off for people.
MCP tool resource_guru_write → add_time_off

Returns the entry with its ID. Bookings that clash with the time off move to the waiting list unless block_on_clash is true. Time off counts in reports only where it overlaps working hours. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
