How do I find a teammate's phone number through the agent?

Use the `search_employee` tool and provide the teammate's name. Your agent will search the company directory and return their contact details, including phone and email.

Can the agent tell me who is on vacation today?

Yes. The `list_whos_out` tool provides a real-time list of all employees who are currently out of the office for time off, allowing you to check team availability instantly.

Is it possible to submit a time off request via chat?

Absolutely. Use the `add_time_off_request` tool by providing the employee ID, start and end dates, and the specific Time Off Type ID (e.g., Vacation or Sick Leave).
