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
- Never fabricate contact data. Only return what the API provides.
- Present results clearly. Show the email/phone with all available metadata.
- Handle failures gracefully. If a lookup returns nothing, suggest alternatives.
- Ask before assuming. If the request is ambiguous, ask a clarifying question.
- 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 |
