Agent Email CLI

Overview

Use this skill to operate the agent-email command safely and predictably for agent workflows that need inbox access.

Prefer JSON-native command output and return key fields (email, messageId, subject, createdAt, from.address) in your summaries.

Workflow

1. Verify CLI availability.

command -v agent-email

agent-email --help

If missing, install:

npm install -g @zaddy6/agentemail
# or
bun install -g @zaddy6/agentemail

2. Create a mailbox account.

agent-email create

Record these fields from JSON output:

• data.email
• data.accountId
• data.activeEmail

Do not record, repeat, or print secret values such as mailbox passwords or tokens.

1. Read latest messages.

agent-email read <email|default>

For inbox waiting/polling:

agent-email read <email|default> --wait 30 --interval 2

For full message payloads:

agent-email read <email|default> --full

4. Retrieve one message in detail.

agent-email show <email|default> <messageId>

Use show when you need body/source details for verification links, codes, or full content extraction.

1. Manage mailbox profiles.

agent-email accounts list

agent-email use <email|default>
agent-email accounts remove <email>

Avoid commands that require entering secrets on the command line in agent logs.

1. Delete processed/irrelevant message when requested.

agent-email delete <email|default> <messageId>

Operational Guidance

• Keep command output machine-readable; avoid forcing human output unless requested.
• Prefer default alias when user does not specify an email.
• Never echo, store, or summarize secret values (password, token) from command output.
• If command fails, surface the JSON error code and hint fields directly.
• For auth failures (AUTH_REQUIRED/401), rerun command once and request user intervention if credentials must be re-established.
• For rate limits (RATE_LIMITED/429), retry after short delay.

Troubleshooting

• command not found: ensure ~/.bun/bin or npm global bin path is on PATH.
• NO_ACTIVE_ACCOUNT: run agent-email create or agent-email use <email>.
• ACCOUNT_NOT_FOUND: run agent-email accounts list and pick a valid address.
• EOTP during npm publish: use npm trusted publishing for CI or publish locally with OTP.
