BambooHR ACTION
Deny Time Off Request
Deny a time off request. A single denial is final — it discards any remaining approval steps, so the request always ends in
DENIED status. Fails with 409 if the request is not currently REQUESTED. Use List Time Off Requests to find the request ID. See the documentation- Action

IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's BambooHR account once, then configure and run Deny Time Off Request from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "bamboohr-deny-time-off-request",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
bamboohr: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
requestId: "Request ID",
managerNote: "Manager Note",
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

)
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-deny-time-off-request",
arguments: {
requestId: "Request ID",
managerNote: "Manager Note",
},

Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
requestId Request ID | string | The time off request ID, e.g. 67890. Run List Time Off Requests to discover IDs. Required |
managerNote Manager Note | string | Optional note recorded on the request by the approver (max 1024 characters). Optional |
bypass Bypass | boolean | Changes who may deny the request, not what denying does. Optional |
returnActions Return Actions | boolean | When true, the response includes the state transitions available to the caller for this request. Optional |
REFERENCE
Tool details
Behavior hints are published with the component in the Pipedream registry and surface as MCP tool annotations, so an agent can reason about a tool before it calls it.
