AgentMail, an email inbox API built for AI agents, solves this by scoping access to dedicated inboxes via tokens. It returns email data as clean JSON rather than raw SMTP/MIME format, reducing wasted tokens in the context window. By combining AgentMail with Gmail filters that forward only specific emails (e.g., newsletters) to a dedicated AgentMail address, you can give your local LLM targeted email access without exposing your entire inbox to the service or the model. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
