SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill reduces the time and risk of manual inbox management by enabling programmatic reading, searching, composing, labeling, drafting, and deleting of Gmail messages so users can automate triage, replies, and cleanup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Label discovery and filtering: list_labels and list_emails let agents enumerate and filter messages by system and user-created labels.
  • Targeted search and retrieval: search_emails supports Gmail query syntax to locate messages, and read_email/get_email_thread returns full message bodies and attachments.
  • Compose and workflow automation: send_email and draft_email enable composing, replying, and saving drafts with threading support.
  • Inbox management and safety: modify_email lets agents add/remove labels for archiving and starring, while delete_email and bulk_delete_emails provide single and bulk deletion with explicit confirmation and reason requirements to prevent accidental data loss.
  • Use case: Automatically find unread messages from a vendor, summarize the latest thread, and draft a reply with next steps while archiving the conversation.
