project_handover_email

Write a professional project handover email introducing the incoming developer to the client. Choose a warm tone to set the client at ease, or a clean tone for a factual exit.

Instructions

Write the email handing a project over to another developer or contractor. For when you're stepping back from a project and transferring it to someone else — either because you've been asked to, the client is moving in-house, or you're bringing in a specialist for a particular phase. Two routes: warm (default — introduce the incoming person positively, set the client at ease, frame as an upgrade or natural evolution), clean (factual hand-off with no extra framing — for situations where the relationship is already strained or you simply want a professional exit with no editorialising). Required: client_name, handover_to (name of the incoming person or team). Optional: project_name, handover_reason (brief reason — e.g. 'you've taken the project in-house', 'bringing in a specialist for the next phase'), next_steps (what the client should expect — e.g. 'Alex will reach out this week to schedule a call'), route ('warm' | 'clean' — default warm), your_name. Does not count against your monthly draft limit.

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided. The description discloses two routes with different tones, states it doesn't count against draft limit, and lists required/optional parameters. It does not specify if the email is auto-sent or just drafted, but the intent is clear.

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?

The description is well-structured: starts with purpose, then usage context, then route options, then parameters. It is somewhat lengthy but front-loaded and each sentence adds information. Minor redundancy in route explanation.

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

Completeness4/5

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

Given 7 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description covers all necessary aspects: required and optional params, route options, draft limit benefit. It is sufficient for an email drafting tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100% so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining the difference between warm and clean routes, providing examples for handover_reason and next_steps, and clarifying optional fields beyond the schema.

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 writes an email for handing over a project to another developer/contractor. It distinguishes two routes (warm and clean) and explains when each applies, differentiating it from sibling email tools.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description explains when to use the tool (e.g., stepping back, client moving in-house, bringing in specialist) and describes the two routes. However, it does not explicitly mention when not to use it or direct alternatives among siblings.

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