Enterprise HR management, payroll processing, workforce planning, and employee data workflows. It lets agents call Workday actions like Get worker, Search workers, Get time off, and Request time off without writing custom integration code.

Question 2

Which Workday actions are available through MCP?

The Agen Workday MCP connector exposes 6 scoped actions including Get worker, Search workers, Get time off, and Request time off. Each action is mapped to a specific Workday OAuth scope so agents only get the permissions they need for the task.
