Primitive Email

Wait for the threaded reply to a sent email. Call this immediately after sendEmail or replyToEmail when you expect an answer. With only the sent email's id it long-polls for up to 30 seconds by default. Do not report that nobody replied or ask the user to check later until this call returns with no reply. Set wait=false only for a deliberate immediate poll. Matching uses reply threading, not a sender or subject guess.

awaitReply

Get this user's Primitive managed inbox domain, creating the account on first use: no signup form, no password, no email verification, no browser. CALL THIS FIRST whenever you do not already have a Primitive API key and the user wants to send or receive email, instead of telling them to sign up or visit a website. On first use the REST response's address field is a domain such as pink-ram.primitive.email, not a complete mailbox. When it is non-null, this MCP result also includes sender_address such as [email protected] for use as sendEmail.requestBody.from. It also returns an api_key. IMPORTANT: pass that api_key as the `api_key` argument on every later Primitive tool call in this conversation, exactly as returned; those calls fail without it. If this user already has a domain, the result repeats it with existing_account: true. Report it as their existing managed inbox rather than announcing a new one, and calling again will not produce a different one. The result also carries an upgrade link the user can open whenever they want to attach this domain to a full account.

createEmailAddress

Use this when you need the authenticated Primitive account summary, including plan, onboarding state, and managed inbox domain. managed_inbox_address is a domain, not a complete mailbox. When it is non-null, this MCP result also includes sender_address, such as [email protected], for use as sendEmail.requestBody.from.

getAccount

Read a whole conversation, with message bodies. Pass the id of any inbound email and get every message of its thread, inbound and outbound, oldest first, each with its text, a direction (inbound/outbound) and a derived role (inbound→user, outbound→assistant). This is the tool for finding out what was said. Each text is sized for reading: every link target is replaced by [link], and the quoted history a reply repeats is removed (the total is quoted_chars_removed); for link targets, read an inbound message with getEmail (its id and links: "all") and an outbound one with getSentEmail with full: true, whose body has them. For a brand-new message, returns just that one turn. The response includes thread_id, a truncated boolean (true when the message cap was reached) and a message_count field. A thread that so far contains only messages you sent has no inbound email id: read those with listSentEmails and getSentEmail.

getConversation

Use this when you need full details for one inbound email ID, including parsed bodies, threading metadata, SMTP envelope, webhook state, and replies.

getEmail

Use this when the user asks whether inbound email is ready or needs setup. Returns domains, routes, deployed Functions, and recent inbound activity.

getInboxStatus

What can I send FROM? Lists this account's verified outbound (sendable) domains plus any domains still pending DNS verification, with next actions. Call this BEFORE sendEmail to pick a valid `from` domain — the account email is not necessarily sendable. The same sendable list is echoed in a cannot_send_from_domain error.

getOutboundStatus

Read a single sent email by id: status, from, to, subject, body_text and its attachments, plus the error, SMTP response or gate denial when the send did not deliver. Use to inspect delivery details for a specific send, such as the SMTP response on a bounced row or the gate denial reason on a gate_denied row. Pass full: true for the stored record, including body_html.

getSentEmail

Use this when you need to browse inbound emails received at verified domains with cursor pagination, status filters, date filters, or sender/recipient search.

listEmails

List outbound emails sent by this org, with cursor pagination and filters. Each row is id, thread_id, created_at, status, from, to, subject and a snippet, plus the error, SMTP response or gate denial when the send did not deliver. Use getSentEmail to read the body of one. Useful for auditing delivery status, finding bounced sends, or checking gate-denied attempts.
