Available tools

list_contracts

List contracts in the organization. Filter server-side by type, status, team, legal entity, country, currency, or a title/worker-name search. Supports cursor pagination.

get_contract

Get a single contract by id. Use list_contracts to find valid IDs.

create_contract

Create an independent-contractor (IC) contract. Discover required IDs first: listgroups (teamid), listlegalentities (legalentityid), listjobtitles, listsenioritylevels, listcountries, listcurrencies. Creates only the core IC contract record — contractor invoicing, timesheet submission, milestone execution, invoice adjustments, and payments are out of scope for this connector.

terminate_contract

Terminate a non-EOR contract (independent-contractor, PAYG, etc). Use terminateeorcontract instead for contracts where getcontract's type is 'eor'. Provide either terminatenow=true or completiondate. Use getcontract first to confirm the contract's type before calling this. Use listcontractterminationreasons to find a valid terminationreason_id.

terminate_eor_contract

Initiate offboarding/termination for an EOR (Employer of Record) contract. Use terminatecontract instead for non-EOR contract types. Use getcontract first to confirm the contract's type is 'eor' before calling this. reasondetail must be at least 100 characters. usedtime_off's shape is unconfirmed by Deel — try {} first (sends no fields at all); if rejected, investigate manually.

amend_contract

Amend an existing contract's terms (compensation, job title, seniority, scope of work, etc). Only send the fields that are changing. Use listjobtitles / listsenioritylevels / list_currencies to find valid IDs/codes for those fields.

list_contract_termination_reasons

List contract termination reasons available in this organization. Use for terminatecontract's terminationreason_id.

discover_person_custom_fields

List the custom field definitions available on people profiles in this organization (name, type, and whether required). Use this before getpersoncustom_fields to know which field ids/types to expect.

get_person_custom_fields

Get the custom field values set on one person's profile. Use listpeople to find the worker id, and discoverpersoncustomfields to understand each field's type.

set_person_custom_fields

Set a custom field's value on one person's profile. Use listpeople to find the worker id, and discoverpersoncustomfields to find the customfieldid and its type (which determines the shape of field_value).

list_groups

List groups (teams) in the organization. Use this to find team/group IDs for other tools.

create_group

Create a group (team).

update_group

Rename a group (team). Use list_groups to find valid IDs.

delete_group

Archive (delete) a group by id. Use list_groups to find valid IDs.

list_legal_entities

List legal entities in the organization. Use this to find legalentityid for create_contract.

list_job_titles

List job titles available in this organization. Use for createcontract's jobtitle_id.

list_countries

List countries supported by Deel, with ISO codes. Use for createcontract's countrycode.

list_seniority_levels

List seniority levels available in this organization. Use for createcontract's seniorityid.

list_currencies

List supported currencies (ISO 4217 codes). Use for createcontract's compensationdetails currency.

list_time_off_types

List global time-off category names (e.g. VACATION, SICKLEAVE) for reference only — these are not valid timeofftypeid values. Use listtimeoffpolicies for the policyid and timeofftypeid needed by createtimeoffrequest.

list_working_locations

List working locations configured for this organization. Use for updatepersonworklocation's workinglocation_id.

list_organization_structures

List organization structures (team hierarchies, roles) for this organization.

list_people

List people (HRIS profiles) in the organization. Supports search by name, and filtering by team, hiring status, hiring type, and person status. Use this to find a person's HRIS profile id for other tools (time off, custom fields).

get_person

Get a single person's HRIS profile by id. Use list_people to find valid IDs.

update_person_work_location

Update a person's working location. Use listpeople to find the HRIS profile id, and listworkinglocations to find a valid workinglocation_id.

list_time_off_policies

List the time-off policies available to one HRIS profile (e.g. vacation, sick leave). Use listpeople to find the hrisprofileid, and this tool's output for a policyid when creating a time-off request.

list_time_off_requests

List existing time-off requests for one HRIS profile, with their id, status, and dates. Use listpeople to find the hrisprofileid. This is the tool to call before updatetimeoffrequest, reviewtimeoffrequest, or deletetimeoffrequest — Deel has no other way to discover an existing request's id.

create_time_off_request

Create a time-off request for a person. Use listpeople to find recipientprofileid, and listtimeoffpolicies for policyid and its timeofftypes[].id (timeofftypeid must be an id from there, not a value from listtimeoff_types).

update_time_off_request

Update an existing time-off request. Use listtimeoff_requests to find the request id first.

review_time_off_request

Approve or reject one or more time-off requests in a single call. Use listtimeoff_requests to find pending request IDs. Rejections are permanent.

delete_time_off_request

Cancel (delete) a time-off request by id. Use listtimeoff_requests to find the request id first. This immediately sets the request to CANCELED regardless of its current status and cannot be reversed.

validate_credential

Validate Deel credentials by fetching the authenticated profile. Verifies credentials during setup.

list_webhooks

List webhook subscriptions registered for this organization.

create_webhook

Create a webhook subscription. Use listwebhookevent_types to find valid event names for the events list.

update_webhook

Update a webhook subscription's status (enabled/disabled) or child-org visibility. Use list_webhooks to find valid IDs. To change the URL or events, delete and recreate.

delete_webhook

Delete a webhook subscription by id. Use list_webhooks to find valid IDs.

list_webhook_event_types

List the webhook event types available for subscription. Use for create_webhook's events list.
