mail_reply
Reply to an email by finding the parent message in your inbox or outbox, sending the response, and automatically marking the parent as done.
Instructions
Reply to a mail. Finds parent in the CALLER's own inbox or outbox (use mail_send if you need to reply across agents), sends the reply with to = parent.from by default, and auto-flips the parent's status to 'done'. One tool call instead of three.
