mail-index — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited mail-index (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
mail-index is a local, read-only index of the user's Gmail, exposed as an MCP server. It answers vague questions cheaply from a local SQLite + FTS index — no Gmail round-trip per call. If a question might live in someone's email, try mail-index before saying "I don't have a connector for that."
search (free-text),find_person (a contact from a vague hint), or catch_up (time-based).
ref, sender, subject, date,and a snippet. Call `get_message` only for the few rows you actually need the full body of (e.g. to read line-items or an amount). Do not `get_message` every result — that's slow and wasteful; the snippets answer most questions.
ref (<account:id>) so the user can open the original.Every response carries index_as_of (last sync time). If a time-sensitive answer depends on very recent mail, check sync_status and mention staleness.
"What did I buy / my purchases / receipts last month" (the Amazon case)
search for the vendor or receipt language: "Amazon order", `"orderconfirmation", "receipt", "your order"`. Scan the snippet rows (sender + date + subject) to pick the ones inside the asked-for window.
get_message only those in-window rows to read item names / prices.credit) and that figures come from confirmation emails, not the charged card.
"Catch me up / what did I miss this week"
catch_up with a since (7d, 2w, 1mo, or ISO). Returns new mail fromimportant contacts, replies in your threads, and keyword hits. If the index is stale it answers now and kicks off a background sync.
"Find the email from / about <person or company>"
find_person with a name/handle/domain fragment → then get_contact orlist_threads --contact <address> for their conversations. search also works when you remember a phrase rather than a person.
"Summarize this newsletter sender / what are my digests"
digest_sources for list senders ranked by engagement with unread counts, orsearch by sender → get_message → save_summary to persist a summary.
"Who do I email most / my key contacts"
list_contacts (sort engagement | volume | recency; filtercorrespondent | important). Answered from precomputed structure in one call.
get_message level:"body" sparingly.
account if the user has multiple mailboxes;pass a tighter query before widening.
and relabel via archive_message / modify_labels, but only when the user opted into the gmail.modify scope — call those two only when the user explicitly asks; for send/delete, use a separate Gmail tool.
mail-index …command string for the user to run (sync, graph build, bulk enrich) rather than doing O(N) work inline — surface that command, don't try to loop it yourself.
