agent-email-inbox

agent-email-inbox is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TommyBez/skillsboard. It costs 94 tokens per session (3,664 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-email-inbox, MIT.

A guide for building software that receives emails and lets an application or AI agent act on them. It treats incoming email as untrusted content that must be checked before processing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for agent inboxes, automated support handlers, email-to-task workflows, and other systems that process inbound email programmatically.
Why use it?
Email-triggered systems can be activated by unsafe or misleading messages, and repeatedly checking for new mail wastes work. This covers webhook-based receiving and security validation.

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-email-inbox scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

AI Agent Email Inbox

Overview

This skill covers setting up a secure email inbox that allows your application or AI agent to receive and respond to emails, with content safety measures in place.

Core principle: An AI agent's inbox receives untrusted input. Security configuration is important to handle this safely.

Why Webhook-Based Receiving?

Resend uses webhooks for inbound email, meaning your agent is notified instantly when an email arrives. This is valuable for agents because:

  • Real-time responsiveness — React to emails within seconds, not minutes
  • No polling overhead — No cron jobs checking "any new mail?" repeatedly
  • Event-driven architecture — Your agent only wakes up when there's actually something to process
  • Lower API costs — No wasted calls checking empty inboxes

Architecture

Sender → Email → Resend (MX) → Webhook → Your Server → AI Agent

SDK Version Requirements

This skill requires Resend SDK features for webhook verification (webhooks.verify()) and email receiving (emails.receiving.get()). Always install the latest SDK version. If the project already has a Resend SDK installed, check the version and upgrade if needed.

Language Package Min Version
Node.js resend >= 6.9.2
Python resend >= 2.21.0
Go resend-go/v3 >= 3.1.0
Ruby resend >= 1.0.0
PHP resend/resend-php >= 1.1.0
Rust resend-rs >= 0.20.0
Java resend-java >= 4.11.0
.NET Resend >= 0.2.1

Install the resend npm package: npm install resend (or the equivalent for your language). For full sending docs, install the resend skill.

Quick Start

  1. Ask the user for their email address — You need a real email address to send test emails to. Ask the user and wait for their response before proceeding.
  2. Choose your security level — Decide how to validate incoming emails before any are processed
  3. Set up receiving domain — Configure MX records for the user's custom domain (see Domain Setup section)
  4. Create webhook endpoint — Handle email.received events with security built in from the start. The webhook endpoint MUST be a POST route.
  5. Set up tunneling (local dev) — Use Tailscale Funnel (recommended) or ngrok. See references/webhook-setup.md
  6. Create webhook via API — Use the Resend Webhook API to register your endpoint programmatically. See references/webhook-setup.md
  7. Connect to agent — Pass validated emails to your AI agent for processing
