Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
shipmail_statusA

Check ShipMail API health and version before starting a workflow.

shipmail_list_domainsA

List domains in the authenticated ShipMail organization. Use this before creating mailboxes or changing DNS-related settings.

shipmail_get_domainA

Fetch one domain, including verification state and registration metadata.

shipmail_get_domain_dns_recordsA

Return all six DNS records required by ShipMail and live observed values for propagation diagnostics. This does not update domain state.

shipmail_create_domainA

Add an existing domain to ShipMail. This does not purchase a domain; it creates DNS records and verification state.

shipmail_update_domainB

Update mutable domain settings, currently the catch-all mailbox. Changing the catch-all silently retargets all unmatched-recipient mail; treat as destructive.

shipmail_delete_domainA

Delete a domain from ShipMail. This is destructive and cascades related mailboxes and settings.

shipmail_verify_domainA

Check current DNS and outbound verification for a domain. This may update ShipMail verification state.

shipmail_search_domainsA

Search available domains through ShipMail. This is read-only and does not purchase anything.

shipmail_list_mailboxesA

List mailboxes, optionally filtered by domain. Use this to find mailbox IDs before sending.

shipmail_get_mailboxA

Fetch mailbox metadata and auto-reply settings.

shipmail_list_mailbox_app_passwordsA

List app-password metadata for one mailbox. Secret values are never returned by this read operation.

shipmail_create_mailbox_app_passwordA

Create a revocable mailbox credential for an email client. The secret is returned exactly once in this tool result, so only call after explicit operator approval and store it securely.

shipmail_revoke_mailbox_app_passwordA

Permanently revoke one mailbox app password. The associated client will lose access immediately.

shipmail_suspend_mailboxA

Manually suspend a mailbox. Authentication, sending, receiving, and Assistant automation execution are blocked until the manual suspension is removed.

shipmail_resume_mailboxA

Remove a mailbox's manual suspension. Billing, security, reputation, or AWS restrictions remain active independently.

shipmail_create_mailboxA

Create a mailbox on an existing domain. Use shipmail_list_domains first to find the domain ID.

shipmail_create_mailbox_exportA

Create a private ZIP snapshot of one mailbox. The job runs in the background. Poll shipmail_get_mailbox_export until it is completed, then use the short-lived download_url promptly.

Read one mailbox export job. A completed response includes a private download URL that expires in at most five minutes.

shipmail_create_mailbox_importA

Start importing mail from another provider into a shipmail mailbox over IMAP. Use an app or device password for the source account. Outlook sources require the dashboard's Sign in with Microsoft and cannot be started here. The import runs in the background; poll shipmail_get_mailbox_import for progress.

List recent imports for a mailbox with their status and counters.

shipmail_get_mailbox_importA
