  • mailbuttons_send_emailSend or reply from a scoped inbox, subject to send policy.Reads text others writeCan send data outNo findings

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "mailbuttons_send_email" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.
    • The input addresses people (input.to): what it sends cannot be taken back.
    • The server marks it destructive (destructiveHint: true).

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    • outboundThe name "mailbuttons_send_email" says "send": it sends or publishes something to other people.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Send or reply from a scoped inbox, subject to send policy. Sandbox tokens can never deliver to external recipients — such sends return `draft_pending_approval`; disallowed recipients return `blocked` with the matched rule. Both are EXPECTED governed outcomes, not errors. Requires the `send_internal` capability.

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Export the customer's tamper-evident audit log for a SIEM, including the hash-chain fields (entry_hash, prev_hash) so a recipient can verify integrity. Business-tier only: requires the token's `siem_export` flag, otherwise returns `siem_export_not_enabled`. Read-only.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Extract a one-time / verification code (a 4–8 digit number) from recent mail in a scoped inbox. GOVERNED: codes are only ever read from senders ALLOWLISTED in the mailbox policy — mail from any other sender is ignored, never scanned. Returns {status:"found", code, from, message_id} or {status:"not_found"}. Read-only; requires the `read` capability.

    What it can reach

    • untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Propose adding an address to an inbox's send allowlist. This NEVER grants access directly — it files a request for human approval and returns its id. Requires the `propose_policy` capability.

    What it can reach

    Description, as the server wrote it
    File a human-approval request to grant additional capabilities (e.g. send_external) or promote a sandbox token to production. The token CANNOT widen its own scope; this only opens a request and returns an approval URL.

    List sends that were held for human approval (e.g. an external recipient on a sandbox token, or mode="draft"). Scoped to the token's customer and inbox set. Read-only; requires the `read` capability. A human releases a draft out-of-band — the agent cannot send it.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

Exfil surface

Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.

72 paths in this server alone from private data, through text someone else wrote, to a way out. Denying 1 outbound tool breaks every one.

Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
Reads text others write12
Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
Can send data out1
Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.

Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as mailbuttons. Review it before you use it.
