agent-list

Command-line management for Nylas lists, which hold reusable domains, top-level domains, or email addresses. Agent rules can use these lists to match senders or recipients.

In plain words
What is it for?
Create, inspect, rename, populate, edit, and delete Nylas lists, such as blocked domains or VIP email addresses.
Why use it?
Shared lists avoid repeating the same domains or addresses in many email rules. Updating one list can change the values used by those rules.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-list scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Agent Lists

Detailed reference for nylas agent list.

Lists are backed by /v3/lists and hold normalized values referenced by agent rule in_list conditions. Each list has an immutable type — domain, tld, or address — that determines which rule fields it can match:

List type Matches rule fields
domain from.domain, recipient.domain
tld from.tld, recipient.tld
address from.address, recipient.address

API reference: https://developer.nylas.com/docs/v3/agent-accounts/policies-rules-lists/

Commands

nylas agent list list
nylas agent list get <list-id>
nylas agent list create --name "Blocked domains" --type domain
nylas agent list create --name "VIPs" --type address --item [email protected] --item [email protected]
nylas agent list update <list-id> --name "New name"
nylas agent list items <list-id>
nylas agent list add <list-id> spam.com junk.net
nylas agent list remove <list-id> spam.com
nylas agent list delete <list-id> --yes

Listing Lists

nylas agent list list
nylas agent list list --json

Lists all lists from /v3/lists with their type and item count.

Showing a List

nylas agent list get <list-id>
nylas agent list get <list-id> --json
nylas agent list items <list-id>

Notes:

  • get shows the list metadata and its items
  • items shows only the items
  • --json returns raw payloads

Creating Lists

nylas agent list create --name "Blocked domains" --type domain
nylas agent list create --name "VIPs" --type address --item [email protected]

Notes:

  • --type is required and immutable after creation (domain, tld, or address)
  • --item is repeatable and seeds the list right after creation
  • --description is optional

Managing Items

nylas agent list add <list-id> spam.com junk.net
nylas agent list remove <list-id> spam.com

Notes:

  • up to 1000 items per request
  • values are lowercased, trimmed, and validated against the list's type by the API
  • duplicate additions are silently ignored
  • rules referencing the list pick up item changes immediately

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

agent-list is a command published in the GitHub repository nylas/cli (68 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 759 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
