Tool reference

26 tools, in the three groups the dashboard uses. Each one has its own switch: off means it is never offered to the assistant, and is rejected if it is called anyway.

Let it look (14 tools)

Read-only. Nothing in this group changes anything in your mailbox.

  • email_list

    List the envelopes in a folder, newest first.

  • email_read

    Read one message: headers, text body and attachment metadata.

  • email_thread

    Fetch the whole conversation a message belongs to, oldest first.

  • email_attachment_get

    Fetch the content of one attachment on a message you received.

  • email_search

    Search by sender, recipient, subject, text, date, tag, flag or size.

  • email_search_all

    Search every mailbox on your account at once and return one merged, newest-first list of hits.

  • email_list_mailboxes

    List the folders in the mailbox and what each one is for.

  • email_mailbox_status

    Report the message and unread counts for a folder.

  • email_attachable_files

    List the authorized documents that may be attached to outgoing mail.

  • email_filter_list

    List the filter rules saved on your account.

  • email_template_list

    List the available email templates and the variables each one takes.

  • email_template_get

    Fetch one template’s full bodies and variable list.

  • email_send_log

    Read recent sends and how much of the sending budget is left.

  • email_account_summary

    Summarise the account in one call: its mailboxes, sending identities, send allowance and storage.

Let it organize (9 tools)

Changes the mailbox, but never sends anything. No tool in this group deletes mail.

  • email_mark

    Set or clear the read and flagged states on one or many messages.

  • email_tag

    Add or remove tags, stored as keywords on the mail server itself, so every mail app sees them.

  • email_move

    Move one or many messages between folders.

    Refuses trash-like destinations by default, and the hosted service does not lift that default. Filing mail is allowed; routing it towards deletion is not.

  • email_filter_create

    Save a filter rule: what to match, and what to do with a match.

  • email_filter_delete

    Delete one of your saved filter rules.

  • email_filter_apply

    Run your saved rules against a folder, with a dry run that previews the result first.

  • email_template_create

    Save a new email template.

  • email_template_update

    Update one of your custom templates.

  • email_template_delete

    Delete one of your custom templates.

Let it write (3 tools)

Outbound. Two of these three send mail; the third only writes a draft.

  • email_send

    Send a new message from one of your sending identities.

    Rate-limited by recipient count. Attachments are reference-only: it can name a document you authorized, never supply the bytes.

  • email_reply

    Reply to a message, with the threading headers filled in correctly.

    Rate-limited by recipient count. Attachments are reference-only: it can name a document you authorized, never supply the bytes.

  • email_draft_create

    Compose a message and put it in your Drafts folder.

    Writes to Drafts and sends nothing. You are still the one who presses send.

There is no delete tool in any group. That is the whole list.
