brc_send_email_statement

Sends a customer statement email to specified recipients, allowing optional period, balance threshold, and custom message. Requires explicit user confirmation after reviewing a plain-English draft.

Instructions

Sends a customer statement email. Supported document type only. Red email sending is available for sales invoices, quotes, and customer statements — not for cash receipts, purchases, payments, bank accounts, customers, suppliers, products, reports, or other document types. If the user asks to email an unsupported document type, say Red cannot email it through the current MCP tools, list the supported types, and stop without preparing a draft or attempting a workaround. Do not call this tool with confirmSend=true until the user has reviewed a plain-English email draft and explicitly confirmed they want to send it. The email draft must show the recipient email address clearly before asking for send confirmation. If there is no customer email on file and no recipient override, stop and ask for a recipient email address — do not send. Create/post confirmation and email send confirmation are separate steps. If the user provides multiple recipient addresses, ask whether to send one email using BCC or separate individual emails. Only use sendMode='separate' when the user explicitly chooses separate emails. Do not ask about BCC unless the user provides multiple recipients or asks to copy another address.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
sendModeNoHow to handle multiple recipients. Use separate only when the user explicitly asks to send separate individual emails.
toPeriodNoStatement period end (ISO date-time, e.g. 2026-05-31T00:00:00).
toAddressNoOptional single recipient override. If omitted or empty, BRC uses the customer's email address.
customerIdYesBRC field: customerId.
fromPeriodNoStatement period start (ISO date-time, e.g. 2026-01-01T00:00:00).
minBalanceNoMinimum balance threshold for transactions included on the statement.
companyNameYesCompany context name, for example YOUR-COMPANY-NAME.
confirmSendNoMust be true only after the user has reviewed the email draft and explicitly confirmed sending.
fromAddressNoOptional sender address override.
messageBodyNoOptional custom email message body.
toAddressesNoOptional list of recipients. If more than one is provided, ask the user whether to send one email with BCC or separate individual emails.
bccAddressesNoOptional BCC email addresses. Only use if the user explicitly provides BCC addresses or chooses one email with BCC.
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It comprehensively discloses behavior: only sends statements, requires explicit user confirmation before sending, requires recipient email, handles multiple recipients with BCC/separate, and warns against drafting for unsupported types. Covers edge cases thoroughly.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Description is verbose but each sentence serves a purpose. Front-loaded with core action. Could be slightly more concise, but complexity of tool (12 params, multiple conditional flows) justifies length. Good structure with explicit steps and conditions.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 12 parameters, 2 required, no output schema, and sibling email tools, this description fully equips the agent. Covers all edge cases: unsupported types, confirmation, recipient handling, BCC/separate logic. No significant gaps remain.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters5/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema has 100% description coverage, but description adds significant context beyond schema: explains conditional logic for sendMode (only separate if user explicitly chooses), confirmSend must be true only after review, toAddresses and bccAddresses usage with BCC logic. Adds semantic value for agent decision-making.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it sends customer statement emails, lists supported document types (only statements), and explicitly distinguishes from siblings like brc_send_quote_email and brc_send_sales_invoice_email by detailing unsupported document types.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides explicit when-to-use (statements), when-not-to-use (unsupported types like cash receipts, purchases, etc.), and precise instructions for handling unsupported types (say cannot, list supported, stop). Also clarifies confirmation flow, multiple recipient handling, and BCC vs separate emails.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
