🔒 Privacy & Security Architecture
Human-in-the-Loop by Design: All outbound message drafting defaults to your Outlook
Draftsfolder for manual review. Direct unreviewed sends (outlook_send_mail) require an explicitconfirm_send=Trueflag to prevent accidental dispatches.Indirect Prompt Injection Defense: Incoming email bodies are encapsulated in
<untrusted_email_body_content>XML tags to ensure AI models parse external content strictly as passive data.Zero Cloud Tokens / No Passwords: Connects 100% locally to your running Windows Outlook Desktop application via Windows MAPI (
win32com).Strict
.gitignore: All local configs, caches, and environments are ignored.
