Recorded tools

Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.

Tool	What it does
name	agent-inbox
list_rules	What am I collecting, and which senders am I subscribed to right now? Each from_domains_file is re-read on every call.
list_messages	What has arrived? Filter by rule, account, thread or date; optionally grouped into conversations.
search_messages	Where is the message that mentions X? Substring search over subject, sender, recipients, labels, attachment names and body.
read_message	One message in full — metadata, body, attachment names and sizes — and optionally its whole thread in order.
sync	Fetch new mail once, returning the same manifest run --json writes.
gmail-archive	It was almost exactly this — Gmail query to Maildir, incremental — and would be the obvious answer if it were still maintained. It has not been since 2018.
gmail-exporter	You want a one-off, label-based, spreadsheet-shaped export rather than incremental sync.
