WHAT IT DOES

What gws_gmail_list does on AirMCP

RISK

Why gws_gmail_list is rated Low

Severity is medium rather than low because email often contains sensitive personal information (passwords, financial details, PII), so unauthorized listing could expose significant data; however, the tool itself performs no destructive or executing actions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'gws_gmail_list' and description 'List recent Gmail messages. Supports query filters' indicate a retrieval operation that queries existing email data without modifying or deleting it.
