email

A tool for sending email through SMTP, the standard method many mail servers use to transfer messages. It supports plain text or HTML messages, attachments, and CC or BCC recipients.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to send messages, notifications, or reports with recipients, subject lines, formatted content, attachments, CC, and BCC.
Why use it?
It lets an agent send notifications and reports without manually opening a mail application. It separates sending from reading or searching an inbox.

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

email 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (send_email.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Email (SMTP)

When to Use

  • Send emails through SMTP (Gmail, Outlook, custom server)
  • Notifications, messages, or reports
  • Emails with CC, BCC, or HTML body
  • When user explicitly asks to "send an email"

When NOT to Use

  • Reading or searching Gmail — use google_workspace with gog
  • Sending via Gmail API — use google_workspace gmail send
  • Tasks that don't involve sending email

Setup

Configure in pythonclaw.json (or the Config dashboard):

"skills": {
  "email": {
    "smtpServer": "smtp.gmail.com",
    "smtpPort": 587,
    "senderEmail": "[email protected]",
    "senderPassword": "your-app-password"
  }
}

For Gmail, use an App Password.

Usage/Commands

python {skill_path}/send_email.py \
  --to "[email protected]" \
  --subject "Hello" \
  --body "Message body here"
Option Description
--to Recipient address (required)
--subject Subject line
--body Message body
--cc "[email protected],[email protected]" CC recipients
--bcc "[email protected]" BCC recipients
--html Treat body as HTML

Notes

  • Always confirm before sending on behalf of the user
  • For Gmail, App Password is required (not regular password)
  • Credentials are read from skills.email in pythonclaw.json
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
