Tools as reported by the server

• getAccount
  The authenticated Primitive account. managed_inbox_address is a domain, not a mailbox; sender_address (such as agent@pink-ram.primitive.email) is the mailbox sendEmail sends from by default. Result: id, email, plan, managed_inbox_address, created_at, limits, entitlements, onboarding_completed, and s
• getInboxStatus
  Check whether inbound email is ready. Domains are added and verified with the domain management tools at /mcp/full. Result: ready, receiving_ready, processing_ready, summary, next_actions, domains, endpoints, functions and recent_emails.
• getOutboundStatus
  What this account can send from, and to whom. Call it before sending outside Primitive or from a domain other than the managed inbox. Result: ready, summary, sendable_domains, domains, next_actions, and can_send_to, the recipients it may email.
• listEmails
  Page through inbound email newest first, or tail new mail with since and wait. Filters by domain, status, date and sender, recipient or subject words; for body text, attachments or replies to a send, use searchEmails. Rows carry id, thread_id, received_at, from, to, subject, status and snippet; open
• searchEmails
  Find particular inbound emails: a full-text query (q) over subject, body, sender and recipient, or filters on sender, recipient, subject, body, attachments, spam score, or the sent email they reply to, ranked by relevance or date. To page through the inbox newest first, or to wait for mail that has
• getEmail
  Read one inbound email by id; read its attachments with getEmailAttachment. By default body_text leaves out quoted history and shows each link as an [n] marker; the links argument returns their targets. When body_next_offset is not null, call again with offset set to it. If parse_status is pending o
• replyToEmail write/delete
  Reply to one inbound email, threaded server-side. This sends a real email immediately and it cannot be undone or recalled, so call it only after the user has confirmed the reply. Expecting an answer? Pass await_reply: true to wait for it in this call. Result: the sent email's id, status, from, accep
• sendEmail write/delete
  Send a new email. It goes out immediately (or at scheduled_at) and cannot be recalled, so confirm the message with the user first. Leave `from` out to send from your managed inbox. To send later, set scheduled_at, at most 30 days ahead and without wait or attachments. Expecting an answer? Pass await
• listSentEmails
  List sent emails to audit delivery. Rows carry id, thread_id, created_at, status, from, to, subject and snippet, plus error_code, smtp_response_code or gates when a send did not deliver. Read one with getSentEmail. Result: sent_emails, cursor for the next page (null at the end), and total, total_cap
• getSentEmail
  Read a single sent email by id, to inspect its delivery, such as the SMTP response on a bounced send or the gate denial on a gate_denied one. Pass full: true for the stored record. Result: id, thread_id, created_at, status, from, to, subject, body_text and attachments; when set, scheduled_at, cancel
• awaitReply
  Wait for the threaded reply to a sent email (an id sendEmail or replyToEmail returned) when that send's own wait got none. Do not tell the user nobody replied unless this returns reply null with timed_out true. Threading is not proof of who wrote the reply: trust it only when reply.sender_verified i
• getConversation
  Read a whole conversation with message bodies: the tool for finding out what was said. Pass the id of any inbound email in the thread. Each message has a direction and a role (inbound→user, outbound→assistant). Texts have links as [link] and quoted history removed; full: true returns them as stored,
• getEmailAttachment
  Read ONE attachment of an email. A text file (plain text, CSV, JSON, XML, Markdown, calendar and similar) comes back as text, HTML reduced to text; a PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP image up to 1 MB as an image; any other file as base64 up to 256 KB, and larger ones only described. PDF and office documents a
• createEmailAddress
  Create an email account with no signup and get its api_key; call this first when you have no Primitive API key and the user wants to send or receive email. Pass api_key as the `api_key` argument on every later Primitive call, exactly as returned. address is a domain, not a mailbox; sender_address (s
