12 of 12 tools
Documented tools (12)
From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.
check_connection
Connects to IMAP when needed, actively verifies SMTP, and returns structured status
continue_email_thread
subject (string), recipient (string, optional narrowing match), since (string, optional), text (string, optional), html (string, optional), signature (object, optional), replyToAll (boolean, default: true), and includeOriginal (boolean, default: true). Finds the newest exact normalized subject in th
delete_message
mailbox (string), uid (number), uidValidity (number, optional). Verifies the UID exists and permanently deletes only that UID. If STORE or UID EXPUNGE reports an error, the tool verifies the source UID and rolls back \\Deleted when possible. A transport failure that cannot be confirmed returns a str
find_unreplied_messages
sender (required), mailboxes (optional, defaults to INBOX), since, before, and limit. Uses In-Reply-To and References; messages without Message-ID are returned as unknownMessages instead of being guessed from their subject.
get_message
mailbox (string), uid (number), uidValidity (number, optional), markSeen (boolean, optional)
get_messages
mailbox (string), uids (array), uidValidity (number, optional), markSeen (boolean, optional). The call fails before fetching bodies if any requested UID is missing, and fails explicitly if the combined returned bodies exceed MAILMAXRESPONSECHARACTERS.
list_mailboxes
No parameters required
move_message
mailbox (string), uid (number), targetMailbox (string), uidValidity (number, optional). The source UID and target mailbox must already exist. Fails safely unless the server supports MOVE or UIDPLUS. When the server returns a destination UID, the result also refreshes destinationUidValidity so the ta
reply_to_email
mailbox (string), originalUid (number), uidValidity (number, optional), text (string, optional), html (string, optional), signature (object, optional: text and/or html), replyToAll (boolean, default: false), includeOriginal (boolean, default: true). At least one of text or html is required.
save_attachment
mailbox (string), uid (number), uidValidity (number, optional), savePath (string, absolute path), attachmentIndex (number, optional, 0-based), returnBase64 (boolean, optional, default: false). When saving multiple attachments, a later write failure returns isError: true, partial, savedFiles, and fai
search_messages
Combines mailboxes, from, to, subject, body, IMAP keywords, unread, inclusive since, exclusive before, limit, and includeBody. Omit mailboxes to search INBOX and the detected sent mailbox. Date/time searches widen the IMAP calendar-day query by two days on each side, then apply the exact instant loc
send_email
to (string), subject (string), text (string, optional), html (string, optional), signature (object, optional: text and/or html), cc (string, optional), bcc (string, optional), attachments (string[], optional, absolute file paths). At least one of text or html is required.
