Get direct deposit accounts for an employee. Account and routing numbers are redacted — shows account type, status, and name on account.
AI agents call get_direct_deposit to retrieve information from Paylocity MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves employee direct deposit information for inspection only. While the underlying data is financial in nature, the tool itself performs a read-only query and does not move money, create financial obligations, or modify records. The redaction of account/routing numbers further mitigates exposure of sensitive financial identifiers.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_direct_deposit' and description 'Get direct deposit accounts for an employee' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion.
