Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| gmail_search_emailsA | Search Gmail and return compact message summaries (id, threadId, from, subject, date, snippet, labelIds). Use Gmail search syntax. Supports pagination via page_token. Read-only; does not return full bodies. |
| gmail_search_email_idsA | Search Gmail and return only message IDs plus a pagination token. Cheaper than gmail_search_emails when you only need IDs to feed into gmail_batch_read_email or gmail_apply_labels. Read-only. |
| gmail_batch_read_emailA | Fetch full content for up to 100 Gmail messages by ID. Returns headers and a decoded plaintext body for each (text/plain preferred; HTML is stripped to text when that's all that's available). Bodies are passed through the masking layer before return. Read-only. |
| gmail_read_email_threadA | Fetch a full Gmail thread by thread ID: every message in order with headers and a decoded plaintext body. Bodies are passed through the masking layer before return. Read-only. |
| gmail_apply_labelsA | Add and/or remove labels on specific Gmail messages by ID via batchModify. Resolves label display names to IDs (case-insensitive; system labels like UNREAD/INBOX work too). Optionally creates missing add-labels. Use to mark messages 'AI-Processed' and remove 'UNREAD'. |
| gmail_bulk_label_matchingA | Search Gmail with a query, then add/remove labels on every matching message in one shot (search + batchModify). Resolves label names to IDs and can create missing add-labels. Use for bulk tagging of a query. |
| gmail_create_reply_draftA | Create a threaded REPLY draft to an email in Gmail (it syncs to Apple Mail's Drafts via IMAP). Pass the original message's from/subject/threadId/message_id plus your composed reply body. PII tokens in the recipient/subject/body are restored to real values before saving; secrets stay redacted. Returns a self-minted RFC822 Message-ID and the Apple Mail deep link (message://) to the draft, plus the Gmail web draft URL as a fallback. Does NOT send. |
| calendar_upsert_eventA | Create or update an event in the secondary calendar (idempotent by iCalUID). Writes only to the secondary calendar resolved from config for
|
| calendar_list_eventsA | List events from the secondary calendar for Returns events expanded into single instances and ordered by start time. |
| slack_postA | Post a message to Slack via chat.postMessage. Use this to deliver the final report after processing emails and registering calendar events. The bot must be a member of the target channel; if it is not, the error will tell you to invite it. |
