/install mail
Description
Execute email operations with platform-specific optimizations and secure credential handling.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable letting the agent access the configured mailbox and prepare outbound messages. Review every email before approving send, use revocable app passwords or OAuth where possible, install himalaya from a trusted source, and ask for confirmation before syncing, moving, deleting, or bulk-processing mail.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: mail
Version: 1.2.0
The skill is designed for email operations using the `himalaya` CLI tool and macOS Mail app. It leverages standard system binaries like `osascript` for Mail app synchronization and `security` for secure credential retrieval from the macOS Keychain, which is a legitimate and relatively secure method for handling credentials. The `SKILL.md` explicitly defines a limited scope, read-only data access for email-related paths, and includes strong guardrail instructions for the AI agent (e.g., 'NEVER auto-send', 'NEVER delete without explicit confirmation'). There is no evidence of intentional harmful behavior, unauthorized data exfiltration, persistence mechanisms, or malicious prompt injection attempts against the agent.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Reading local mail data, querying IMAP, sending mail, moving messages, and syncing Apple Mail all fit the stated email-operations purpose, but mailbox contents and outbound email authority are sensitive.
Instruction Scope
The skill states clear limits, including no auto-send, full draft review before sending, and no deletion without explicit confirmation.
Install Mechanism
There is no executable installer in the artifact; setup relies on the external himalaya CLI installed through brew or cargo, which users should obtain from a trusted source.
Credentials
Access to Apple Mail SQLite files, attachment paths, himalaya config, and Keychain-backed credentials is proportionate for a mail skill but should be understood as sensitive account access.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not add its own persistence or privilege escalation, though it uses persistent mail credentials and documents optional polling/watch behavior for mail monitoring.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install mail - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/mail - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
