Revise an owned draft's text, font, size, optional color and page limit and optional format settings and letterhead:{id,version} (or null to remove) using its current version. format controls printed fields, greeting/signature, reply cleanup, spacing/margins/page numbers; omitted format/color/letterhead/maxPages preserves the draft's settings. body may be empty. A supplied format fills unspecified fields with defaults, so merge existing settings first to change just one option. Color adds $0.49 for each page; site previews are grayscale when false. Production key required. Renders a new immutable PDF and increments version; always requires fresh review and approval. Cannot edit submitted, uncertain or rejected letters.

Always forces approval mode and strips autosend consent; never buys postage, changes credits or dispatches. Production key required. Refuses submitted, uncertain, rejected, deletion-pending and one-time drafts without a saved rule. Optional ruleFingerprint guards an already-reviewed rule snapshot with its resolved latest letterhead reference; concurrent rule/letterhead/draft changes reject the update.

The sender field plus optional additionalSenders (up to 19 exact email addresses) form an OR list. Any listed sender can match; recipient and subject conditions still apply with AND. Matching trims whitespace and ignores capitalization. Existing single-sender and recipient-only rules keep their behavior. Editing the sender list requires renewed autosend consent.  subjectContains holds the subject text; subjectMatch is contains (default) or exact, ignoring capitalization. US return/destination addresses, approval or autosend, font, size and page limit. Optional color defaults false; true adds $0.49 for each page and submits color ink. Site previews show grayscale when false. Optional letterhead:{id,version} pins a saved preset. Optional format controls printed fields, greeting, signature, reply cleanup, spacing/margins/page numbers. First enabled match wins; replacement keeps its position. Default approval, Times Roman 12 pt, 10 pages. Production key required. Autosend requires explicit human recurring-mailing authorization and consent=true; never infer consent.

Optionally provide mailing:{from,to,font,fontSize,color?,maxPages,format,letterhead?} for a one-time destination without saving any automation rule. Defaults to Times Roman 12 pt. Requires a production key. Never buys postage, changes credits, enables autosend or records mailing/terms consent. Preview and explicitly approve separately with approve_email_letter.

```

### `quote_email_postcard`

- The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Prepare an exact saved Email to Postcard quote from id, attachment index (or generated plus artworkId), edited message and US from/to addresses. Requires a production workspace key and OAuth mcp:read/mcp:write permissions. Production uploads artwork for pricing but takes no payment and sends no mail. Returns immutable quote id, exact totalCents and expiresAt; retries recover an existing active quote without replacing its content. Use get_email_postcard_quote to review its exact saved proof and addresses, then send_product_quote with confirmed:true only after explicit human approval. Use revise_email_postcard_quote before changing an existing unsent quote; uncertain or paid orders cannot be replaced.
```

### `quote_product`

- The input addresses people (input.recipients): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Hold a 36-hour expanded-product quote using a workspace key, print-ready PDF and 1–100 US recipients. Returns the exact expiration in expiresAt (UTC). Uploads artwork to the provider in production; no charge or mailing. Each PDF page must match catalog dimensions; postcards require one landscape front artwork page. Two-sided postcard: pro_postcard_85x55, doubleSided:true, color:true, plus reverseMessage OR reverseArtworkBase64; the server assembles two pages. Maximum 25 MiB combined artwork. Staging quotes are demo estimates. Obtain approval of artwork, addresses and total before sending.

### `render_cover_sheet`

### `save_email_postcard_rule`

- The name "save_email_postcard_rule" says "save": a word for a change.
- The input addresses people (input.rule.recipient): what it sends cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Save or update a workspace postcard rule with matching sender/recipient email, subject contains/exact, US return/delivery addresses, attachment or generated front preference, optional image style instructions, and email-body or custom message. removeImagePrompt defaults true: omit recognizable image-request sentences or labeled prompt blocks from email-derived printed text, while retaining the original body for artwork. False retains them; custom messages and explicit preview/quote message edits are unchanged. postcardType selects single_sided (default for new rules) or double_sided; existing rules without the field retain double_sided. The sender field plus optional additionalSenders (up to 19 exact email addresses) form an OR list. Any listed sender can match; recipient and subject conditions still apply with AND. Matching trims whitespace and ignores capitalization. Existing single-sender and recipient-only rules keep their behavior. Editing the sender list requires renewed autosend consent. All conditions must match; first enabled match wins. Choose mode:approval (default) or mode:auto. Saving any rule requires production workspace authentication and OAuth mcp:read/mcp:write/mcp:send. For artwork:generate in either mode, obtain permission to share up to the first 1200 characters of verified matching emails and saved style instructions with the image service during inbox processing. Approval mode prepares artwork before review without mailing. For auto, obtain explicit recurring authorization for prepaid-credit spending within shared sending limits and terms, then pass consent:true; generated artwork also requires authorization to share matching email text and style instructions with the image service. Consent is required again when updating an automatic rule. At most 25 rules. Saving does not itself send mail, but future verified matching emails may generate artwork, spend credits and mail automatically. Unverified signatures, insufficient credits, exceeded limits and changed rules wait for approval. No automatic card funding.
