Practical Notes
- Setup time ~25 minutes (OAuth consent + run server + connect client)
- Safety check: keep ‘send/create’ tools behind confirmation and minimal scopes
- GitHub stars + forks (verified): see Source & Thanks
For email and calendars, ‘agent autonomy’ should be staged. Start with summarize/search only, then allow drafting, and only then consider sending. In practice, the best ROI is a reliable inbox digest and an always-correct availability checker.
FAQ
Q: Is this safer than giving an agent my email UI? A: Yes. Tool scopes and server-side logs are easier to control than UI automation.
Q: What’s the first workflow to automate? A: Daily inbox summary + draft replies (not auto-send) and calendar availability checks.
Q: How do I avoid spamming people? A: Disable send by default, require confirmations, and add per-domain allowlists.
