Description
CLI to manage emails via IMAP/SMTP. Use `himalaya` to list, read, write, reply, forward, search, and organize emails from the terminal. Supports multiple accounts and message composition with MML (MIME Meta Language).
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you want an agent to operate a configured email account through Himalaya. Prefer app passwords, OAuth, `pass`, or a system keyring instead of `auth.raw`; protect the config file; and require explicit approval before sending, reply-all, forwarding, deleting, moving, exporting full messages, or downloading attachments.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: himalaya Version: 1.0.0 The OpenClaw AgentSkills bundle provides instructions and configuration examples for using the 'himalaya' CLI email client. All commands and configurations are directly related to the stated purpose of managing emails. The skill explicitly recommends secure password handling via password managers (e.g., 'pass') or system keyrings, and warns against storing raw passwords. File system and network access are inherent to an email client's functionality (e.g., attaching files, downloading attachments, connecting to IMAP/SMTP servers). There is no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, persistence mechanisms, or prompt injection attempts against the agent beyond the scope of using the 'himalaya' tool.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's ability to list, read, send, reply, forward, move, delete, export, and download email is sensitive but directly matches its stated Himalaya IMAP/SMTP email-client purpose.
Instruction Scope
The artifacts provide setup and command examples; high-impact actions are visible user-invoked commands, with no hidden automation, prompt injection, or unrelated behavior found.
Install Mechanism
Installation is disclosed as a Homebrew install of the external `himalaya` binary, which is expected for this CLI wrapper but requires trusting that upstream package.
Credentials
Mailbox network access, local attachments, config files, and credential use are proportionate for an email client; the main skill recommends secure password storage, though one reference includes plaintext password examples.
Persistence & Privilege
The only persistence described is the normal Himalaya config file under `~/.config/himalaya/config.toml`; no background service, privilege escalation, or hidden persistence was found.
