How do I list all active employees in my organization?

Use the `list_employees` tool. It retrieves the full company directory, providing a complete overview of active personnel.

Can I check the compensation history for a specific employee?

Yes! Use the `get_employee_table` tool with the employee's ID and specify 'compensation' as the table name to retrieve their full pay history.

How do I filter time off requests by their current status?

You can use the `list_time_off_requests` tool and provide a status like 'pending' or 'approved' as a parameter to narrow down the results.
