Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 5 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: accounts.google.com, console.cloud.google.com, console.developers.google.com, oauth2.googleapis.com, www.googleapis.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows an AI agent to interact with your Gmail account. It can send emails, retrieve email contents based on sender or subject lines, and manage drafts. The skill provides a convenient way to automate email tasks directly from within the AI agent's workflow.

When to use it

  • Automated Responses: Automatically respond to specific types of incoming emails with pre-defined replies.
  • Drafting Emails: Have the AI agent draft an email based on your instructions, then send it via Gmail.
  • Information Retrieval: Quickly find important information from past emails by searching for emails containing certain keywords or sent by particular individuals.
  • Managing Drafts: Create and manage drafts of emails within the AI agent's environment.

Key capabilities

  • Send Emails
  • Retrieve Email Contents (by sender/subject)
  • Manage Drafts

Example prompts

  • "Draft an email to John Doe thanking him for his time."
  • “Find all emails from [email protected] regarding order #12345.”
  • "Send the draft email 'Project Proposal' to [email protected]."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires authentication with your Gmail account, so ensure you grant the necessary permissions to the AI agent.
  • The skill’s functionality is limited by the capabilities of the underlying Gmail API.
