## Description

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](https://documentation.bamboohr.com/reference/create-time-off-request-denial)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `requestId` | `string` | Yes | The time off request ID, e.g. 67890. Run List Time Off Requests to discover IDs. |
| `managerNote` | `string` | No | Optional note recorded on the request by the approver (max 1024 characters). |
| `bypass` | `boolean` | No | Changes who may deny the request, not what denying does. |
| `returnActions` | `boolean` | No | When true, the response includes the state transitions available to the caller for this request. |

## Run it

**MCP**

```ts
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
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 accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "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-deny-time-off-request",
  arguments: {
    requestId: "Request ID",
    managerNote: "Manager Note",
  },
})
```
