### `shiftbase_create_roster`

- The name "shiftbase_create_roster" says "create": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: put one employee on the schedule for one date (a single, non-recurring shift) in a team, with a shift type, start/end time and break. The employee is notified only when notify is true. POST /rosters.
```

### `shiftbase_request_absence`

- The name "shiftbase_request_absence" says "request": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: add an absence (leave/time-off request) for an employee. By default it is a Pending request for a manager to review; status Approved books it directly (needs the approve-absence permission). The hours per day come from Shiftbase's own expected-hours calculation (the same as shiftbase_get_expected_absence_hours). Needs the Basic plan. POST /absentees.
```

### `shiftbase_review_absence`

- The description's first verb is "write": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: approve or decline an absence request. Reads the absence first and sends it back unchanged except for the status (needs the approve-absence permission). PUT /absentees/{absenteeId}.
```

### `shiftbase_update_roster`

- The name "shiftbase_update_roster" says "update": a word for a change.
- The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
WRITE: change a scheduled shift: move it to another date, time, employee, team or shift type, or change its break or note. Reads the shift first and sends it back with your changes. For a recurring shift, scope says what changes: "occurrence" (this date only), "sequence" (this date and all later ones) or "original" (the whole series; also the right scope for a non-recurring shift). PUT /rosters/{occurrenceId}/{scope}.
```

## Only reads (18)
