Tools

Each operation maps directly to a dedicated tool. The block resolves the tool based on the operation input.

Send Message (agentmail_send_message) — Sends a new email from the specified inbox. Required params: apiKey, inboxId, to, subject. Optional: text, html, cc, bcc. Returns threadId, messageId, subject, to.

Reply to Message (agentmail_reply_message) — Replies to an existing message by its messageId (note: the block's threadId subBlock maps to the threadId output; the underlying tool consumes a messageId param).

Get Thread (agentmail_get_thread) — Fetches full details of a thread including all messages. Required params: apiKey, inboxId, threadId. Returns threadId, subject, senders, recipients, messageCount, labels, lastMessageAt, createdAt, updatedAt, and messages (array with fields: messageId, from, to, cc, bcc, subject, text, html, createdAt).
