HRIS & People Operations
HR operations for AI agents — employee lookup, leave management, org navigation, headcount reporting, and payroll coordination with strict PII governance.
What this skill teaches
A reusable playbook for a specific kind of work.
An MCP server tells an agent which actions are available. A skill adds the judgment around those actions: how to recognize the job, which sequence to follow, what to avoid, and how to decide that the result is complete.
Orchestrate HR operations — employee lookup, department management, time-off requests, payroll queries, org chart navigation, and headcount reporting. Use when looking up employees, managing leave requests, checking org structure, running payroll, viewing the directory, or analyzing headcount.
Architecture
How HRIS & People Operations guides an ADK-Rust agent.
The skill stays readable and portable because it contains instructions rather than service credentials or business data. ADK-Rust supplies it to the agent, the agent chooses from its reviewed tool boundary, and the connected MCP server performs the authenticated operation.
01
User request
The agent receives a goal expressed in ordinary language.
02
HRIS & People Operations skill
Matches intent, supplies the decision guide, and narrows the tool boundary.
03
ADK-Rust agent
Plans the workflow and streams each meaningful step through the runtime.
04
mcp-hris
Executes authenticated operations against the system that owns the capability.
05
Verified result
The skill's completion rules shape the evidence returned to the user.
Decision guide
How the agent turns a request into the right action.
These routes come directly from the skill instructions. They help the model recognize intent and select a focused tool or workflow instead of improvising across the entire capability surface.
"time off", "leave", "vacation", "PTO"?
request_time_off / list_time_off / approve_time_off
"org chart", "reports to", "team"?
get_org_chart / list_departments
"headcount", "how many", "department size"?
get_headcount / list_departments
"payroll", "pay run"?
list_payroll / run_payroll (requires approval)
"onboard", "new hire"?
create_employee + department assignment
Proven workflows
Repeatable sequences for useful outcomes.
A workflow joins several tool calls into a task the user actually recognizes. The skill explains the sequence and the intended result while ADK-Rust streams the agent's progress through the shared runtime.
011-2 calls
Employee Lookup
Find people with safe data exposure
022-3 calls
Leave Management
Request, validate, approve with coverage check
031-2 calls
Org Navigation
Hierarchy and headcount visibility
043+ calls
Onboarding
New hire setup with cross-MCP provisioning
051-2 calls
Payroll
Aggregate reporting (never individual)
Tool boundary
The skill may use 14 documented tools.
This allowlist is declared by the skill. It keeps the agent focused on the actions needed for this job while mcp-hris retains responsibility for authentication, validation, and the connected system.

Working rules
What the agent should do.
- Aggregate payroll data — never expose individual compensation
- Require manager approval for leave requests
- Log all HR data access with accessor identity
- Respect data residency (GDPR, local labor laws)
Operating boundaries
What the agent should avoid.
- NEVER expose salary, SSN, or bank details
- Don't approve leave without checking team coverage
- Don't create employees without proper onboarding workflow
Install and connect
Add the skill beside the capability it expects.
Install the repository where your ADK-Rust skill loader can discover it, connect mcp-hris, and confirm the declared tools are available before asking the agent to use the workflow.
