Use `list_public_holidays` to see when the office is closed. Your Copilot agent can factor these dates into your sprint velocity and task estimates. It’s a simple way to keep your team’s delivery timeline accurate. You’ll never miss a global holiday again.

Authenticate and query with Humaans tools

Use `get_me` to verify your own profile info or `list_documents` to find relevant company files. The tools are ready the moment you open your project. Everything is handled via standard MCP protocols. It keeps your workspace tidy and your data access controlled by your existing HRIS permissions.
