revision_rounds_exceeded_email

Generate an email to inform clients when revision rounds are exceeded, with options to quote additional costs, offer an upgrade package, or close the project.

Instructions

Write the email when a client requests revisions beyond their contracted allocation — enforcing your revision policy without damaging the relationship. One of the most avoided conversations in freelancing; this email makes it easy by being matter-of-fact, not defensive. Three routes: notify_and_quote (default — inform the client their rounds are used, quote the additional cost, invite them to proceed; works when you want to keep the work and the relationship), offer_upgrade (offer a small add-on package for further revisions — works when the client is likely to need ongoing changes and a bundled approach makes sense), close_and_decline (flag that contracted revisions are complete and the project is considered signed off unless they purchase more; works when revisions are clearly not converging or the client is acting in bad faith). Distinct from revision_response_email (which handles the content of a specific revision), scope_creep_response_email (which is broader scope expansion), and change_order_email (which is a formal contract amendment). Does not count against your monthly draft limit. Required: client_name, project_name. Optional: revisions_included (how many rounds were in the contract — e.g. '2 rounds', '3 rounds of revisions'; default is 'the included'), revisions_used (how many have been used — helps make the email concrete), additional_rate (your rate for extra revision work — e.g. '$85/hr', '$150 per round'; makes the quote concrete), route ('notify_and_quote' | 'offer_upgrade' | 'close_and_decline' — default notify_and_quote), package_name (for offer_upgrade route — name of the add-on, e.g. 'Revision Pack', 'Polish Pass'), package_price (for offer_upgrade route — e.g. '$200', '2 hours at $85'), your_name.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
client_nameYesFirst name or full name of the client
project_nameYesThe project name — e.g. 'the Westbrook website', 'your brand refresh', 'the app design'. Used throughout the email.
revisions_includedNoOptional: how many rounds were contracted — e.g. '2 rounds', '3 rounds of revisions', 'two feedback rounds'. Default is a vague reference to 'the included revisions'.
revisions_usedNoOptional: how many rounds have been used — e.g. 'two', 'three'. Helps make the email concrete rather than abstract.
additional_rateNoOptional: your rate for extra revision work — e.g. '$85/hr', '$150 per round', '$200 per additional feedback round'. Makes the quote concrete.
routeNonotify_and_quote (default): inform the client, quote additional cost, invite them to proceed. offer_upgrade: propose a small add-on package for further revisions. close_and_decline: mark the revision stage as complete, project considered signed off unless they purchase more.
package_nameNoFor offer_upgrade route: name of the add-on revision package — e.g. 'Revision Pack', 'Polish Pass', 'Extended Refinement'.
package_priceNoFor offer_upgrade route: price of the add-on — e.g. '$200', '2 additional hours at $85', '$150 flat'.
your_nameNoOptional: your name for the sign-off
Behavior5/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. It discloses that the tool writes an email, has three behavioral routes with default, and that it does not count against draft limit. No contradictions.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

The description is well-structured with front-loaded purpose, followed by routes, sibling differentiation, and parameter details. Every sentence adds value without redundancy.

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 9 parameters, three routes, and no output schema, the description is remarkably complete. It covers all parameters, provides usage examples, and explains the three behavioral routes in detail.

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%, but description adds context like default values, route explanations, and example values for optional parameters, enhancing understanding beyond the schema's descriptions.

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 the tool's purpose: writing an email when a client exceeds revision allocation. It distinguishes from three sibling tools (revision_response_email, scope_creep_response_email, change_order_email), providing specific differentiators.

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?

Explicitly describes when to use each of the three routes (notify_and_quote, offer_upgrade, close_and_decline) with scenarios. Also notes it does not count against monthly draft limit and distinguishes from siblings.

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