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

workyard

workyard_add_time_card_note

WRITE: add a text note to one time card (POST .../time_cards/{id}/notes). Adds a new note on every call; it does not edit or delete existing notes.

workyard_approve_time_card

WRITE: approve ONE time card (PATCH .../time_cards/{id}/approve). Approval feeds payroll in Workyard and may not be undoable through the API: only call it when the user asked to approve this exact time card.

workyard_get_organization

The organization this connection uses (id, name, settings such as timezone) from GET /orgs/{org_id}.

workyard_get_project

One project by id (workyard_list_projects gives the ids).

workyard_get_time_card

One time card by id, with its details (workyard_list_time_cards gives the ids).

workyard_list_active_geofences

All active geofences with limited data (Workyard: GET active_geofences). It does not say who is clocked in; use workyard_list_time_cards with status working for that.

workyard_list_employees

List employees of the organization (employee_id, profile_id, name, title, role, status, contact data). Filter by status (active, removed, saas_disabled, expired; comma list), email, role name or free-text search. Paged: use next_page.

workyard_list_geofence_projects

The projects attached to one geofence (work site). Paged: use next_page.

workyard_list_geofences

List geofences / work sites (id, name, place, enabled, radius). Filter by name, enabled state or project. Paged: use next_page.

workyard_list_projects

List projects (id, name, identifier, customer, locations). Optionally filter by name or archived state. Paged: use next_page.

workyard_list_time_card_activity_segments

The activity segments of one time card (where and on which project the employee worked, segment by segment). Not paged.

workyard_list_time_cards

List time cards (id, employee_id, start_dt_unix, end_dt_unix, status, approver, totals). Workyard returns only status=working when no status is given, so pass status (for example submitted,approved) for finished work. Filter by employee and by start time (unix seconds, interpreted in the organization timezone). Paged: use next_page; the reply also carries time_summary.
