What is agent-email-inbox?

Use when building any system where email content triggers actions — AI agent inboxes, automated support handlers, email-to-task pipelines, or any workflow processing untrusted inbound email. Always use this skill when the user wants to receive emails and act on them programmatically, even if they don't mention "agent" — the skill contains critical security patterns (sender allowlists, content filtering, sandboxed processing) that prevent untrusted email from controlling your system.

AI Agent Email Inbox

Overview

This skill covers setting up a secure email inbox that allows your application or AI agent to receive and respond to emails, with content safety measures in place.

Core principle: An AI agent's inbox receives untrusted input. Security configuration is important to handle this safely.

Why Webhook-Based Receiving?

Resend uses webhooks for inbound email, meaning your agent is notified instantly when an email arrives. This is valuable for agents because:

  • Real-time responsiveness — React to emails within seconds, not minutes
  • No polling overhead — No cron jobs checking "any new mail?" repeatedly
  • Event-driven architecture — Your agent only wakes up when there's actually something to process
  • Lower API costs — No wasted calls checking empty inboxes
