The requests waiting in your inbox, with the overlaps Timetastic flags.

Timetastic MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/timetastic.md

MCP tool: `timetastic_read → list_pending_requests`

Access: read.

Returns each pending request with the person, department, leave type, dates, the days asked for, the reason and the approver. A request that overlaps another person's time off lists that person under clashes. It reads the inbox and changes nothing.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `approver` | string | no | Only requests that go to this approver, by full name. Defaults to every request your account can see under View all. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
