WHAT IT DOES

What process_conversational_loop does on AgentMail MCP Server

AI agents invoke process_conversational_loop to trigger actions in AgentMail MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why process_conversational_loop needs a policy

This tool executes a multi-step automated workflow that combines reading (find unreplied thread, get details), writing (send reply), and modifying data (update labels). Because it autonomously sends emails on behalf of the user and modifies message state, it qualifies as Execute (triggering external operations).

From the tool's definition 'Complete workflow: find unreplied thread, get details, send reply, and update labels' — orchestrates multiple operations including sending replies and modifying labels
