Skill instructions

AgentMail Skill AgentMail gives an agent its own email inbox for sending mail, receiving replies, completing email OTP flows, and running inbound email loops. Use it for agent-owned inboxes, not a user's existing IMAP/SMTP mailbox. Use the agentmail CLI first. Use MCP only when the harness expects MCP tools; use REST only when the CLI is missing a required operation. When to Use - The agent needs an email address it owns. - The task involves email OTP flows, replies, threads, labels, or attachments. - The agent needs webhook or WebSocket delivery for inbound mail. Prerequisites - Run commands through the terminal tool. - Install the CLI: bash npm install -g agentmail-cli@latest - Export an API key: bash export AGENTMAILAPIKEY="am..." No API key yet? Use signup.md. How to Run Use --format json whenever another command or script needs IDs. bash agentmail inboxes list --format json Quick Reference - AgentMail agent reference: hosted copy. - AgentMail: product landing page. - Console: API
