apideck-mcp-onboard-employee

apideck-mcp-onboard-employee is a skill for Claude Code from apideck-libraries/api-skills. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,846 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A task guide for turning a hired applicant from a recruiting system into an employee record in an HR system through Apideck MCP. ATS means applicant-tracking software, while HRIS means human-resources software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fetch an applicant, map their details into an HRIS employee record, create that record, and optionally mark the applicant as hired.
Why use it?
It avoids manually copying applicant details into a new employee record and highlights the need to confirm the action because repeating it can create duplicate employees.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

apideck-mcp-onboard-employee scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Onboard an employee from an applicant (Apideck MCP)

When the user has decided to hire a candidate and wants the new employee record created in their HRIS, prefer apideck-onboard-employee over manually mapping ATS fields onto an HRIS create call. The workflow fetches the applicant, maps name/contact/address fields onto the HRIS shape, creates the employee, and optionally updates the ATS stage.

When this is the right tool

User intent Tool
"Onboard candidate Alice from Greenhouse to BambooHR", "Convert applicant 42 into an employee starting Monday" apideck-onboard-employee
"Create an employee from scratch (no ATS lineage)" hris-employees-create directly
"Move applicant to a different ATS stage without HRIS work" ats-applicants-update directly
"Re-hire an existing employee" Out of scope — usually a different HRIS endpoint per connector

IMPORTANT RULES

  • CONFIRM before calling. Onboard is mutating and not idempotent — calling twice creates two HRIS employee records. Always confirm with the user the applicant name, start date, department, and target HRIS.
  • CROSSES TWO UNIFIED APIS. The consumer needs both an ATS connection (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, …) AND an HRIS connection (BambooHR, Workday, Personio, …) authorized in Vault. If either is missing the workflow throws an elicitation pointing at the missing one.
  • TWO SEPARATE SERVICE-ID HEADERS. Unlike the accounting workflows, this one takes x-apideck-ats-service-id and x-apideck-hris-service-id separately — the underlying connectors are different, and the routing has to be set per call.
  • hired_stage_id IS OPTIONAL AND SOFT-FAILS. If you pass it, the workflow tries to move the applicant to that stage in the ATS after creating the employee. If the ATS update fails, the workflow returns isError: false with a warnings[] entry — the employee was already created, and rolling back would leave the workspace in a worse state than partial success. Surface the warning to the user so they can move the applicant manually.
  • VALIDATION HAPPENS AT THE BOUNDARY. If the applicant has no first or last name, the workflow returns failingStep: "validate-applicant" before touching the HRIS — the connector would reject a blank-name employee anyway, and we'd rather fail fast.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
