Load one leave or absence record from Sanka by UUID or workspace absence number.
AI agents call get_absence to retrieve information from Sanka 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 a single absence/leave record by identifier. It has no side effects, does not modify data, and does not execute code or trigger external operations. It is a straightforward read operation querying HR/personnel absence data.
