gmail-recipes

gmail-recipes is a skill for Claude Code from workato-devs/recipe-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,598 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating Workato recipes that use Gmail, Google’s email service. It covers sending, finding, listing, inspecting, and labeling email messages through Workato’s Gmail connector.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to automate email sending, search or list messages, retrieve message details, and manage Gmail labels in Workato.
Why use it?
It helps an agent produce correctly structured Gmail recipe files and avoid common data-reference mistakes in email responses. It also prompts for the exact Workato connection and operation to use.

  • medium Tool Misuse · line 91
    Tool defaults are unsafe or overly permissive (e.g. disabled TLS verification, no authentication, world-writable permissions). Unsafe defaults widen the attack surface.
    Fix: Override unsafe defaults with secure settings (verify=True, auth required, restrictive permissions). Review and harden all tool configurations.

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

gmail-recipes 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 9d 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.

Gmail Recipes Skill

DEPENDENCY: Load the workato-recipes base skill first if not already loaded. This skill requires the base Workato knowledge for triggers, control flow, datapills, and recipe structure.

You are now equipped with Gmail-specific knowledge for writing Workato recipes using the native Gmail connector.


CRITICAL: Pre-Generation Checklist

For EXISTING projects:

  1. Read existing Gmail .recipe.json files to understand local patterns

For GREENFIELD projects:

  1. Use skill templates - see templates/ directory for validated examples
  2. Use descriptive UUIDs - e.g., list-emails-001, get-details-002

ALWAYS:

  1. Ask for connection name - exact name of Gmail connection in Workato
  2. Confirm operation type - send, list, search, or label management
  3. Use API endpoint trigger for testability via curl
  4. Use descriptive UUIDs - never copy random hex UUIDs from existing recipes
  5. Remember datapill paths - adhoc HTTP uses ["body", ...] wrapper

WARNING: Gmail adhoc HTTP responses wrap data in body. Always use paths like ["body", "messages"] for list/search results.


Capabilities

With this skill loaded, you can:

  • Create recipes that send emails (text/HTML) with attachments
  • Create recipes that list and search emails with Gmail query syntax
  • Create recipes that get full message details
  • Create recipes that manage labels (create, list, apply, remove)
  • Create recipes that archive or modify messages
  • Create callable API endpoint recipes for Gmail operations

Gmail Connector

This skill covers the native Gmail connector (gmail) which provides:

  • 3 native actions for core email operations (send, get by ID, download attachment)
  • 1 trigger for new email arrival
  • Adhoc HTTP actions for all other Gmail REST API operations (list, search, labels, user info, modify, delete, threads, drafts)

Connector Limitations

Important: The native Gmail connector is built on the Gmail REST API v1 with a hardcoded base URL (https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/). This means:

  • 3 native actions + 1 trigger — covers send, get email/draft by ID, and download attachment
  • Adhoc HTTP required for most operations: list/search emails, labels, user info, message modification, deletion, threads, drafts
  • API version locked - Cannot access newer Gmail API features not in v1

If a user needs functionality not supported by the v1 API, recommend they:

  1. Check the Workato Community Library for updated Gmail connectors
  2. Consider building a custom SDK connector with the needed endpoints
  3. Use the HTTP connector with custom OAuth for full API flexibility

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.
