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-manager 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Email Manager

Orchestrates the email_* MCP tools (email-mcp server). All tools are account-scoped; message identity is {account, mailbox, uid}.

Ground rules

  1. Start with email_list_accounts when account names are not already known in this conversation. Never guess account names.
  2. Confirm before sending. Show the user recipient(s), subject, and body before calling email_send. Same for email_delete with permanent: true — that one is irreversible. Trash-deletes, flag changes, and moves do not need confirmation.
  3. Batch mutations. Collect uids from email_search, then issue ONE email_mark/email_move/email_delete call with uids: [...] — never one call per message.
  4. M365 auth expiry. If a tool fails with "run email_authenticate", call email_authenticate for that account, give the user the URL + code, and retry the original call after they confirm login (check with another email_authenticate call).
  5. Keep output small. Default search limit is 20; raise it only when the user asks. Use email_read on selected uids, not on whole result lists.

Workflows

Cross-account triage ("anything new?", "check my email")

  1. email_list_accounts
  2. email_search per account in parallel with { seen: false }
  3. Summarize per account: count + one line per notable message (sender, subject). Flag anything urgent-looking.

Read / summarize a thread

  1. email_search with subject/from to find the messages
  2. email_read each relevant uid (newest first, stop when context suffices)
  3. Synthesize; offer to reply.

Reply in-thread

  1. Locate the message (email_search, note account, mailbox, uid)
  2. Draft the reply body; show the user
  3. On approval: email_send with replyTo: { mailbox, uid } — recipients and "Re:" subject default from the original; threading headers are set automatically.

Bulk archive/cleanup ("archive all newsletters from X")

  1. email_search with from/subject filters (raise limit if needed)
  2. Show the user the matching list briefly
  3. email_list_folders to find the archive/target folder
  4. One email_move with all uids.

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.
