Available tools 29

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

talenthr

talenthr_create_applicant_note

WRITE: add an internal note to a job application (visible to the hiring team in TalentHR; no one is e-mailed). Needs the job position id and the application id (talenthr_get_applicant lists an applicant's applications with their job_position_id). Notes cannot be edited or deleted through this server.

talenthr_create_time_off_request

WRITE: book a time off request for an employee (talenthr_list_time_off_types gives the type id). Unless preapproved=true, TalentHR automatically E-MAILS THE EMPLOYEE'S MANAGER to approve or reject it. preapproved=true auto-approves it when the key's user is allowed to (so no manager decides): only use it when the user explicitly said the time off is already approved. Dates must be within one year from today and inside a time off cycle. Optionally give amount_options (days per date: 1, 0.5, 0 for non-working days; every date from start to end needs a value); when omitted TalentHR works it out. Cannot be undone through this server.

talenthr_get_applicant

Get one candidate with contact data, description, CV info and all applications with the hiring step each one is in. The application ids are used by talenthr_create_applicant_note.

talenthr_get_calendar

Who is off when: employees with their time off requests and the holidays for a date range. Without end_date the range runs to the end of the start month (max 2 years). Without a filter it includes every employee (also terminated). Filter with keys time_off (pending, approved), department, division, location, emp_state and time_off_type (e.g. time_off=pending,approved;department=6), or one employee with employee_id.

talenthr_get_directory_filters

List the valid filter options (departments, divisions, locations, employment statuses) with their ids, to build the `filter` argument of talenthr_list_employees and talenthr_get_calendar.

talenthr_get_employee

Get one employee's profile: birth date, hire and termination date, personal e-mail, work phone, address, nationality, gender, job title, department, division, location, role, seniority and custom fields. Contains sensitive personal data (it can include the SSN); only fetch it when the user asked about that person.

talenthr_get_employee_assets

List the assets (inventory and memberships) assigned to one employee. Paged: use next_offset to continue.

talenthr_get_employee_benefits

List the benefits one employee has (category, cost, start and end date).

talenthr_get_employee_job

Get one employee's job information: employment status history, manager records, job records (title, department, location over time), compensation records and benefits. Compensation is sensitive; only fetch it when the user asked.

talenthr_get_employee_time_off_budgets

Get one employee's time off budgets per type and cycle: budget, original budget, used days and accrual figures, i.e. how many days they have left. Optionally limit to the current cycle (active) or one cycle id.

talenthr_get_headcount_report

Headcount per month over a period (total and optionally grouped by gender, location, department, division, ...), plus the current headcount.

talenthr_get_hires_leaves_report

Hires, terminations and attrition rate per month over a period.

talenthr_get_organization_chart

List all current employees with their manager (reports_to_employee_id), job title and role, to answer who reports to whom.

talenthr_get_time_off_report

Approved, non-canceled time off summarized per month and per weekday, split by time off type, for a period.

talenthr_list_applicants

List every candidate across all job positions with contact data and the number of applications. Paged: use next_offset to continue. `search` matches first name, last name and e-mail; `starred_only` returns only the starred candidates (the talent pool).

talenthr_list_assets

List the company's assets (laptops, phones, subscriptions, memberships) with status, category, serial number, cost, purchase and warranty dates. Paged: use next_offset to continue. `search` matches name, description or category; `filter` takes status and category ids (e.g. status=1,2;category=19).

talenthr_list_benefits

List the company's benefits with category, cost, dates and who they are required for. Optional `filter` with keys location, department, division, job_title, emp_state and employee (e.g. location=36;emp_state=1,2).

talenthr_list_departments

List all departments of the company with their ids (the ids are what talenthr_list_employees filters and employee records refer to).

talenthr_list_divisions

List all divisions of the company with their ids (the ids are what talenthr_list_employees filters and employee records refer to).

talenthr_list_employee_time_off_requests

List one employee's time off requests (dates, type, days, approved or pending, canceled). Paged: use next_offset to continue. A request with approved=null is still pending.

talenthr_list_employees

List the company's employees from the TalentHR directory with name, e-mail, job title, department, division, location, employment status, manager id, hire date and phone. Paged (limit max 100): use next_offset to continue. Filter by location, department, division or employment status (emp_state) with `filter`; get the ids from talenthr_get_directory_filters. Use `custom_fields` to add extra field slugs (from the company's custom fields). Returns personal data; summarize only what the user asked for.

talenthr_list_holidays

List the company holidays of a year (current year by default) with date and who they apply to.

talenthr_list_job_position_applicants

List the applicants of one job position with contact data, current hiring step and whether they are disqualified. Paged: use next_offset to continue. `search` matches first name, last name and e-mail.

talenthr_list_job_positions

List the company's job positions (open and closed) with title, status, location, department, publish date and the hiring steps. The id is used to list a position's applicants.

talenthr_list_job_titles

List all job titles of the company with their ids (the ids are what talenthr_list_employees filters and employee records refer to).

talenthr_list_locations

List all locations (with address and remote flag) of the company with their ids (the ids are what talenthr_list_employees filters and employee records refer to).

talenthr_list_time_off_types

List the time off types (vacation, sick leave, ...) with id, yearly budget, whether approval is needed and whether it is paid. The id is needed to book a request with talenthr_create_time_off_request.

talenthr_list_time_tracking_entries

List time tracking entries across all employees (start, end, duration, tags) for a period or date range. Paged: use next_offset to continue. working_now=true lists only running timers. Needs a key whose user may see everyone's time tracking.

talenthr_reply_time_off_request

WRITE: approve (accept=true) or reject (accept=false) a pending time off request. TalentHR automatically E-MAILS THE EMPLOYEE the decision. A request that was already answered or canceled cannot be answered again. Only do this when the user explicitly asked for that decision on that request (find ids with talenthr_list_employee_time_off_requests or talenthr_get_calendar).
