## MCP tools (4)

### `configure_workday_credentials` (~333 tokens)

Configure Workday API credentials. Call this when the user provides their Workday OAuth credentials.

SETUP PREREQUISITES:
1\. A Workday Integration System User (ISU) with appropriate security group access
2\. An API Client registered in Workday (Tenant Setup > API Clients)
3\. The Client ID and Client Secret from the API Client registration
4\. Optionally, a pre-generated Refresh Token (from OAuth token exchange)

PARAMETERS:
\- host: Workday API domain (e.g., "wd5-impl-services1.workday.com")
\- tenant: Your Workday tenant name (e.g., "acme_corp")
\- client_id: OAuth Client ID from API Client registration
\- client_secret: OAuth Client Secret
\- refresh_token: (Optional) Pre-generated refresh token. If omitted, uses client_credentials grant.

COMMON MISTAKES:
\- Host should be just the domain (e.g., "wd5-impl-services1.workday.com"), not a full URL
\- Tenant name is case-sensitive
\- The ISU must have permissions for the REST API resources you want to access

Input parameters:

- `client_id` (string, required): OAuth Client ID from Workday API Client registration
- `client_secret` (string, required): OAuth Client Secret
- `host` (string, required): Workday API domain (e.g., "wd5-impl-services1.workday.com")

RELATED TOOLS:
\- get_workday_worker: Pass a worker's id to get their full profile
\- list_workday_organizations: Browse organizational structure

COMMON MISTAKES:
\- search is a free-text filter (name, email, etc.) — not a Workday query language
\- Maximum limit is 100 per request; use offset for pagination

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max results per page (default 50, max 100)
- `offset` (number): Number of results to skip (for pagination, default 0)
- `search` (string): Free-text search filter (name, email, etc.)

supervisory organization, years of service.

Example: { "worker_id": "3aa5550b7fe348b98d7b5741afc65534" }

WORKFLOW - To find a worker:
1\. Call list_workday_workers to search by name or email
2\. Use the worker's id from the results here

RELATED TOOLS:
\- list_workday_workers: Search/browse workers to find IDs
\- list_workday_organizations: See org structure
