agentmail

agentmail is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nobodyohm-web/Thot. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,079 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agentmail, MIT.

An email inbox created for the coding agent, with its own address and identity. It can send, receive, read, and manage email conversations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Sending emails on the agent’s behalf, reading incoming messages, managing threads, signing up for services, and communicating with people or other agents.
Why use it?
It lets the agent communicate by email without using your personal inbox. It can also handle services that require an email address for signup or verification.

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

agentmail 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 3d ago.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

94% identical to agentmail — 21 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

AgentMail — Agent-Owned Email Inboxes

Requirements

  • AgentMail API key (required) — sign up at https://console.agentmail.to (free tier: 3 inboxes, 3,000 emails/month; paid plans from $20/mo)
  • Node.js 18+ (for the MCP server)

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Give the agent its own dedicated email address
  • Send emails autonomously on behalf of the agent
  • Receive and read incoming emails
  • Manage email threads and conversations
  • Sign up for services or authenticate via email
  • Communicate with other agents or humans via email

This is NOT for reading the user's personal email (use himalaya or Gmail for that). AgentMail gives the agent its own identity and inbox.

Setup

1. Get an API Key

2. Configure MCP Server

Add to ~/.hermes/config.yaml (paste your actual key — MCP env vars are not expanded from .env):

mcp_servers:
  agentmail:
    command: "npx"
    args: ["-y", "agentmail-mcp"]
    env:
      AGENTMAIL_API_KEY: "am_your_key_here"

3. Restart Hermes

hermes

All 11 AgentMail tools are now available automatically.

Available Tools (via MCP)

Procedure

Create an inbox and send an email

  1. Create a dedicated inbox:
    • Use create_inbox with a username (e.g. hermes-agent)
    • The agent gets address: [email protected]
  2. Send an email:
    • Use send_message with inbox_id, to, subject, text
  3. Check for replies:
    • Use list_threads to see incoming conversations
    • Use get_thread to read a specific thread

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.
