macro_file_reservation_cycle
AI agents call macro_file_reservation_cycle to retrieve information from MCP Agent Mail without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Even though macro_file_reservation_cycle only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
