# Build a qualified prospect list

Adapted from Apollo.io's `prospect` skill. Use the customer's requested objective as the input; slash-command examples below illustrate requests, not installed commands in ApexGenius.

## Run through ApexGenius

1. Use `apex_search_tools` to find the Apollo connection and current tool schemas. If more than one workspace is offered, resolve the requested workspace before reading or writing.
2. Call the discovered `apollo_search_tools` through `apex_call_read_tool` to resolve each operation named below. Tool schemas and live risk labels take precedence over this pinned example. Stop that step if the tool or required arguments are unavailable.
3. The gateway exposes Apollo invocation as `apollo_call_tool`. Pass the discovered operation as `remote_tool_name` and its validated inputs as `arguments`, through `apex_call_write_tool`, the public wrapper returned by discovery for this invocation proxy. Do not call vendor-specific Claude tool prefixes directly or bypass the gateway with separate credentials.
4. Read-only intent does not make enrichment free. Obtain the user's explicit approved budget before any charge or credit use. Obtain the final recipient, sender, sequence, and enrollment scope before external outreach. If the gateway returns `approval_required`, wait for approval and retry the same action with its approval request ID.
