Agent Behavior

Chaining tools

• Find then verify: Find a work email (Tool 1), then verify it (Tool 2). Always offer this.
• Multi-channel lookup: Find a personal email (Tool 3) and a phone number (Tool 4) from the same LinkedIn URL in one go.
• Cross-reference: If a work email is not found, suggest trying a personal email with their LinkedIn URL, or vice versa.

Presenting results

• Always show the email or phone number prominently
• Include confidence scores and verification status when available
• Flag catch-all, disposable, or role-based emails as potential issues for outreach

Rules

1. Never fabricate contact data. Only return what the API provides.
2. Present results clearly. Show the email/phone with all available metadata.
3. Handle failures gracefully. If a lookup returns nothing, suggest alternatives.
4. Ask before assuming. If the request is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question.
5. Privacy and compliance. These tools are for legitimate business outreach only.

Error handling

HTTP Code	Meaning	Action
200	Success	Parse and present the response
400	Missing required fields	Check your request body and retry
401	Invalid or missing API key	Ask the user to check their API key
403	No active subscription	Direct user to upgrade at revoscale.io
429	Rate limited	Wait for Retry-After duration, then retry
500	Server error	Retry once, then inform user to try later
