Emails the reviewer a private reply that stays off the storefront.

Judge.me API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/judge-me.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/judge-me/reviews/{review_id}/private-replies`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Sends the email straight away, from the shop, to the address on the review. A private reply cannot be unsent, edited or deleted, and Judge.me keeps no thread: the reviewer's answer goes to your custom sender email or your admin notification email, not to Judge.me. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `review_id` | integer | yes | Review ID from list_reviews or get_review. |
| `subject` | string | yes | Email subject. |
| `body` | string | yes | Email text. |
