Search for holidays within a date range
AI agents call search_holidays to retrieve information from Odoo MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries holiday records filtered by date range. It has no capacity to create, modify, delete, or execute external operations. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only retrieve holiday calendar information that is typically non-sensitive or already visible to users with basic access.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'search_holidays' and description states 'Search for holidays within a date range' — 'search' is explicitly a read-only operation that retrieves data without modification.
