send_inbox_message

This reference is generated from the published tool contract.

Behavior and boundaries

Writes and sends a simple message in one step from an Agent Mailbox (inboxId from list_inboxes) to explicit To/CC/BCC recipients (up to 50 distinct addresses). Use it when the user asks to send a message directly; use save_inbox_draft and send_inbox_draft when the user wants to review or edit a draft first, or to send attachments. Requires the client’s write and send policy. Needs at least one To address and nonempty text. Use a stable requestId per message (8–128 ASCII letters/digits/underscores/hyphens) and a different one for each mailbox or recipient set; after an uncertain response repeat the same requestId instead of creating a new one, which returns the existing send rather than sending again. Returns a send id and status: queued/sending is not delivery and accepted is provider acceptance only; read get_inbox_send_status for progress.

Permissions

Granted scopes, accounts, calendars and visibility rules limit access. Workspace administrators do not automatically gain access to other users’ accounts.

Errors and retries

Check the tool result for errors. Do not blindly retry writes after a timeout. Check the current resource or send status first.
