## Description

Create a balance adjustment for an employee's time off type, recorded as an override history item. Cannot adjust discretionary (unlimited) time off types. Use **Get Time Off Balance** to check current balances and **List Time Off Types** for a valid type ID first. [See the documentation](https://documentation.bamboohr.com/reference/adjust-time-off-balance)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `employeeId` | `string` | Yes | The employee whose balance to adjust, e.g. 100. Run Get Employees Directory to discover IDs. |
| `timeOffTypeId` | `string` | Yes | The time off type to adjust the balance for, e.g. 5. Run List Time Off Types to discover IDs; discretionary types cannot be adjusted. |
| `date` | `string` | Yes | The date the adjustment should be recorded in history, in YYYY-MM-DD format, e.g. 2026-01-15. |
| `amount` | `string` | Yes | The amount to adjust the balance by, measured in the time off type's own unit — run List Time Off Types to confirm whether this type is days or hours before choosing a value (e.g. 1 to add one full day for a days type, or 8 to add a full day for an hours type). Use a negative number to subtract, e.g. -4. |
| `note` | `string` | No | Optional note to show in the balance history. |

## Run it

```ts

import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),

        "x-pd-app-slug": "bamboohr",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "bamboohr-adjust-time-off-balance",
  arguments: {
    employeeId: "Employee ID",
    timeOffTypeId: "Time Off Type ID",
  },
})
```
