Gmail Inbox
Search, read, and analyze Gmail. This skill is read-only—you can find emails and extract insights, but cannot send, archive, delete, or modify anything.
What You Can Do
- Search — Find emails by sender, subject, date, labels, or natural language
- Analyze — Compute inbox analytics: top senders, spam levels, timing patterns
- Digest — Summarize what happened in a time period
- Thread — Deep-dive a specific conversation
Task Routing
Route user requests to the appropriate task:
| User says | Task |
|---|---|
| "Find email about X" / "emails from Y" | |
| "How much junk" / "who emails me" / "spam levels" | |
| "What happened today/this week" | |
| "Show me that thread" / "the conversation about X" |
Always route through tasks. Don't call Fetch Gmail Messages directly—tasks contain interpretation logic, fetch sizing, and human-friendly behavior.
Profile-First Pattern
Before searching, check Connection Profiles for known context:
- User mentions "emails from Sarah" → profile may have Sarah's email address
- User mentions "that project thread" → profile has Quick Access thread IDs
- User asks "who emails me most" → profile already has top contacts
The profile describes HOW this user uses Gmail—their key contacts, volume patterns, labels, and recent important threads.
Read-Only Constraint
If user asks to "clean up," "delete," or "respond":
- Cleanup requests: "I can identify cleanup candidates, but can't delete. Want me to show you what could go?"
- Reply requests: "I can show you the thread and summarize what needs response, but can't send emails."
