Get Succession Planning

manage_employee

Manage Employee

Insert or merge scalar fields on an authorized OData entity. Tenant metadata determines keys, field types and supported operations. Updates first verify the exact existing record; no automatic upsert, nested navigation write or payroll workflow is performed.

Get Performance Reviews

Retrieve performance review forms from SAP SuccessFactors. Fetches a specific review by ID or searches reviews with filtering. Returns review form details including status, ratings, review periods, and associated participants.

Query OData Entity

Execute a generic OData query against any SAP SuccessFactors entity set. This is a flexible tool for accessing any entity exposed through the OData v2 API, including custom MDF entities and picklists. Use this when the specialized tools don't cover your specific entity or use case.

get_api_metadata

Get API Metadata

Discover OData V2 entity sets, exact keys, scalar field types, navigation names and advertised operations for this company, with a downloadable metadata XML file. Metadata availability does not prove data permissions or module access.

get_current_context

Get Current Context

Validate the connected bearer token and report its SAP API server and remaining expiry. SAP’s validation endpoint does not identify the authenticated person or company; the configured company ID is reported separately.
