# Workday-MCP status page

**Updated:** 2026-04-03

This page is the high-visibility execution status for Workday Integration Suite
(WIS) delivery in this repository.

## Traffic-light legend

| Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| 🟢 Green | Functional / production-ready |
| 🟡 Yellow | In progress / development |
| 🔴 Red | Blocked / not started |

## Context retrieval checkpoint

| Signal | Result | Impact |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `git diff --cached` | No staged files detected | Commit-intent diff is unavailable; stage files before the next status refresh that requires commit-scoped analysis. |
| Latest project snapshot | `documentation/project-history/SESSION_SNAPSHOT_2026-04-03.md` | Session confirms strong standards discipline and that Workday execution remains in kickoff-to-build transition. |
| `TODO` / `// RESTART NOTE` in staged files | Not applicable (no staged files) | No commit-scoped intent markers available for this update cycle. |
| Breaking change scan (`compose.yaml` ports/volumes) | No matching changes detected | No `BREAKING CHANGE` flag required for runtime port/path behavior. |

## Program status summary

| Component | WIS traceability | Status | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Runtime modular structure (`server.py` + `lib/data.py`) | WIS-006 | 🟢 Green | Modular split is in place and supports controlled backend evolution. |
| Memory-backed worker status tool (`get_worker_status`) | WIS-009 | 🟢 Green | Returns structured allowlist-oriented worker payloads from deterministic fixtures. |
| Manager lookup tool (`get_worker_manager`) | WIS-011, WIS-017 prep | 🟢 Green | Resolves valid, missing-manager, and unresolved-manager scenarios. |
| Manager mismatch detector (`scan_manager_mismatches`) | WIS-017 | 🟢 Green | Functional prototype scans full mock set and reports unresolved manager links. |
| Expanded identity drift detectors (`scan_status_reconciliation`, `scan_job_title_drift`, `scan_department_mismatches`, `scan_name_variance_mismatches`) | WIS-014 to WIS-018 scope | 🟢 Green | Mock-backed drift scans now cover terminated-but-enabled, title drift, department drift, and legal-vs-display name review scenarios with focused pytest coverage. |
| API token flow and real Workday backend | WIS-008 | 🟡 Yellow | Design path is clear; implementation still pending non-prod credentials and auth closure. |
| Non-prod auth/access unblockers | WIS-001 to WIS-003 | 🔴 Red | External decisions and access provisioning remain gate conditions for API-mode validation. |

## Discipline drives quality

| Engineering discipline pillar | Current state | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Type hinting discipline | 🟢 Green | Typed return contracts and strongly typed mock map are implemented in runtime modules. |
| Pylance quality gate | 🟢 Green | Current Workday runtime implementation is tracking zero known Pylance errors. |
| Modular architecture discipline | 🟢 Green | Orchestration and data layers are separated for maintainability and backend swap readiness. |
| Traceability discipline | 🟢 Green | WIS IDs are embedded in runtime docstrings and aligned with sprint planning artifacts. |

## Sprint alignment (WIS roadmap)

| Workstream | WIS IDs | Status | Execution posture |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Unblockers and access readiness | WIS-001 to WIS-005 | 🔴 Red | Pre-implementation dependencies are defined but not yet closed. |
| Core Workday MCP buildout | WIS-006 to WIS-012 | 🟡 Yellow | Modular and memory-backed foundation is live; API/auth and resilience controls are next. |
| Correlation and mismatch expansion | WIS-013 to WIS-018 | 🟡 Yellow | Multiple mock-backed mismatch detectors are now implemented and tested; live directory/API correlation and remaining roadmap categories are still pending. |
| Automation, reporting, remediation | WIS-019 to WIS-030 | 🔴 Red | Flow automation, KPI instrumentation, and cutover remain roadmap backlog. |

## Recent activity (from git history)

- Added local development quick-start and operational startup guidance.
- Added formalized README update prompt for repeatable status refreshes.
- Refined Workday runtime modular structure and validated three core tools.
- Completed type-hint quality refinements consistent with Pylance discipline.
- Added four mismatch-detection tools for status, title, department, and name variance review.
- Added focused pytest coverage for Workday mismatch scans and MCP wrappers.

## Next milestone focus

| Milestone | ID | Status | Exit criteria |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Mock-to-API transition | WIS-008 | 🟡 Yellow | Non-prod credentials approved, secure token flow operational, first API-backed read call validated. |

## Local development quick-start

### 1. Activate environment

```bash
source .venv/Scripts/activate
```

### 2. Launch inspector

```bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector python server.py
```

### 3. Port cleanup (if blocked)

- Proxy (6277): `taskkill //F //IM node.exe`
- Inspector (6274): `taskkill //F //IM node.exe`
