Frequently asked questions
What authentication method does Workday use?
Workday uses OAuth 2.0 with a registered API Client. You'll need to provide your Client ID, Client Secret, and a Refresh Token — all generated from within your Workday tenant by an administrator.
Can I check PTO balances for my direct reports?
Yes. The get_time_off_balances tool retrieves current PTO balances for any worker within the security scope configured for your Integration System User. Data is returned per plan type (vacation, sick, personal).
Does it support Workday Report-as-a-Service (RaaS)?
Absolutely. Use the execute_raas_report tool with your report URL to retrieve any custom Workday report, including those with prompt parameters. Results are returned in JSON format.
Can I navigate the entire organizational hierarchy?
Yes. The get_org_structure tool fetches supervisory organizations, cost centers, and company hierarchies, allowing you to traverse the full org tree from any starting point.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
