Email Assistant
Guidelines for reading and writing emails via Gmail MCP tools.
When to Use
- User asks to read, check, or manage emails
- User asks to reply to or send an email
- User asks to draft an email response
Core Rules
1. Succinct Responses
Keep email drafts short and to the point. Avoid:
- Unnecessary pleasantries
- Verbose explanations
- Redundant information
2. Match Input Language
Always reply in the same language as the original email.
- French email → French reply
- English email → English reply
- Mixed → Follow the dominant language
3. Validate Before Sending
Never send an email without user approval.
Workflow:
- Read the email
- Draft a response
- Show the draft to the user
- Wait for explicit confirmation ("yes", "send it", "ok")
- Only then send the email
Workflow

Replying to Emails
