Instructions

This is the read interface to workday-mcp-server. Use it whenever the agent needs to attach a human name + reporting line to an EMP-* id surfaced by sap-s4 or m365-graph.

Tool routing

User intent	Tool

Time-off (PTO / leave) — used to detect missing commentary owners	workday_list_time_off

Conventions

• EMP-* ids are the join key. Sap-s4 cost centres carry owner_user_id; m365-graph users carry employee_id. Both point here. Always cite as Aisha Okonkwo (EMP-1011).
• Status matters. Employees can be Active, On Leave, Terminated, Pre-Hire. If a cost-centre owner is On Leave, surface that in the variance review so the controller knows commentary won't come from them this cycle (and hand off to m365-graph to read the OOO message and see who's covering).
• Read-only. Writes (create employee, approve time-off) are not used in finance-close demos.

When NOT to use

• Anything about money / accounts / vendors → sap-s4
• Email / calendar context → m365-graph
