Secure Gmail Access for AI Agents
Email is one of the most sensitive channels in any workflow — it contains contracts, credentials, personal conversations, and confidential business data. Giving an AI agent full Gmail access is like handing over the keys to your digital identity. ScopeGate lets you carve out exactly which email capabilities your agent needs.
The Problem
A fully-authorized Gmail agent can read every email in your inbox, send messages as you to any recipient, delete conversations, and access attachments containing passwords or financial data. Without restrictions, a compromised agent could impersonate you, forward sensitive threads to external addresses, or silently delete evidence of its own actions.
Granular Permissions
Send-only mode
Allow the agent to compose and send emails without reading any inbox content.
Example
Agent sends weekly project status reports to stakeholders but cannot read incoming replies or other threads.
Read-only mode
Allow the agent to read and search emails without sending, deleting, or modifying any messages.
Example
Agent scans incoming support emails to extract ticket information but cannot reply or forward them.
Label-scoped access
Restrict the agent to emails within specific Gmail labels, hiding all other conversations.
Example
Agent can only see emails labeled 'Vendor Invoices' — personal emails and other business threads are invisible.
No attachment access
Allow reading email body text while blocking access to any file attachments.
Example
Agent processes the text of customer inquiries but cannot open or download attached contracts or spreadsheets.
Use Cases
- Customer support triage bot that reads emails labeled 'Support' and categorizes them by urgency
- Outreach agent that sends personalized follow-up emails from templates without reading your inbox
- Invoice processing assistant that reads emails in a 'Billing' label to extract payment information
- Newsletter drafting agent that composes and sends marketing emails on a schedule
