sapling

sapling is a skill for Claude Code from apideck-libraries/api-skills. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,894 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of acerta, Apache-2.0.

An integration for reading and syncing employee, department, payroll, and time-off data in Sapling through Apideck, a service that provides one API for many HR systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect an application to Sapling and work with employees, departments, payrolls, or time-off records.
Why use it?
It avoids building Sapling-specific authentication and request-handling code. Sapling support is in beta, so some data types or operations may not be covered.

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

sapling scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 15d 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.

Sapling (via Apideck)

Access Sapling through Apideck's HRIS unified API — one of 58 HRIS connectors that share the same method surface. Code you write here ports to BambooHR, Workday, Deel and 54 other HRIS connectors by changing a single serviceId string. Apideck handles auth, pagination, rate limiting, and retries so you don't write per-tenant Sapling plumbing.

Beta connector. Sapling is currently in beta on Apideck. Expect partial resource coverage and occasional mapping gaps. Always verify coverage (see below) and fall back to the Proxy API for unsupported operations.

Quick facts

At a glance

  • Implementation difficulty: moderate — API Key Authentication - Each Consumer Generates Their Own Key in Sapling
  • Vendor partnership required: no
  • Apideck-managed credentials: not available — Each consumer uses their own Sapling API key.
  • Account type required: Sapling account (Kallidus suite); API access is restricted, so confirm with Kallidus that it is enabled for the tenant.
  • Consumer access level: A Sapling admin who can generate API keys.
  • Sandbox: not available — Test on an existing Sapling customer's tenant; no self-service sandbox is documented.
  • Rate limits: Kallidus advises at most 100 requests per minute per API key.
  • Authentication: Sent in the Authorization header.
  • Webhooks: Virtual webhooks - employee created, updated and terminated events.

Important to know:

  • The connector reaches US-hosted Sapling tenants on saplingapp.io. UK-hosted tenants (kallidus-suite.com) are not covered by the subdomain setting, so check where a customer's tenant is hosted before you commit.

Facts synced from Apideck's connector metadata API — GET /connector/connectors/sapling (overview field) is the live, authoritative version.
