Can my AI automatically find the details of a specific employee just by providing their ID?

Yes! Use the `get_employee` tool with the unique ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, contact information, and role details in seconds.

How do I monitor team leaves and availability?

Simply ask the agent to run the `list_leaves` tool. It will compile a list of all requested and approved absences, allowing you to see who is out of the office.

Does the integration permit modifying employee data?

No. The core set of tools focuses strictly on querying and analyzing HR context—listing employees, leaves, and attendance. State alteration operations are not currently exposed, ensuring your records remain secure.
