emailsRboring AGENTS.md

A project instruction file for emailsRboring-mcp, a macOS service that places a safety and privacy layer in front of Apple Mail tools. It describes the project’s architecture, commands, invariants, and common pitfalls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building, testing, or modifying emailsRboring-mcp, especially its Apple Mail connections, tool permissions, routing, and response redaction.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project context needed to change the service without breaking its allowlist, routing, or response-redaction rules. An allowlist is a list of explicitly permitted operations.

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.

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

emailsRboring AGENTS.md 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Briefing for AI coding agents working on emailsRboring-mcp. Humans: start with README.md; this file holds the build/test commands, invariants, and gotchas an agent needs to change the code safely.

What this is

A redacting policy proxy (one MCP server) that fronts two upstream Apple Mail MCP servers and adds the safety layer:

  • imdinu/apple-mail-mcp (Python) → read/search. Spawned read-only (serve -r).
  • sweetrb/apple-mail-mcp (TypeScript) → write/organize/send.

The proxy spawns both as stdio child processes, merges their tools behind a fail-closed allowlist, routes calls, and redacts every response. It is macOS-only (Apple Mail).

Architecture (where things live)

File Responsibility
src/index.ts Entry point. Low-level Server + StdioServerTransport; ListTools/CallTool handlers; loads emailsRboring.config.json.
src/upstreams.ts Spawns imdinu + sweetrb via StdioClientTransport. Reads EMAILSRBORING_IMDINU_CMD / EMAILSRBORING_SWEETRB_ENTRY.
src/allowlist.ts The fail-closed allowlist + tool-name normalization (mail_*) + annotations + confirm injection.
src/router.ts Dispatch, send-gate, draft-forcing, id String(), attachment-exfil block, untrusted-content fence.
src/redact.ts The single redaction chokepoint (redactToolResult): strips structuredContent, masks OTPs/codes, truncates at 25k chars.
verify.py 22-check end-to-end verification (surface, redaction, send-gate, exfil).

Build / run / verify

npm install
npm run build            # tsc → build/

# the proxy REQUIRES these env vars (see README for what they point at):
export EMAILSRBORING_IMDINU_CMD=/abs/path/to/apple-mail-mcp
export EMAILSRBORING_SWEETRB_ENTRY=/abs/path/to/sweetrb/build/index.js

node build/index.js      # boots; prints "[emailsRboring] ready — 26 tools"
python3 verify.py        # MUST stay 22/22 ALL GREEN before any commit

npm run build must exit 0 with no any introduced; tsconfig.json is strict.

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.
