## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-16.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 32/100
  - Malware scan not yet available for this package.
  - CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects cryptography 48.0.1, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available.
  - Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - 2 of 52 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to dremok/gmail-agent).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 4 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 62/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2683 tokens (~107/item across 25 items; 25 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - All 4 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 26 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

- `max_body_chars` (integer)
- `message_id` (string, required)

### `get_thread` (~80 tokens)

## Common questions

### What is the gmail-agent MCP server?

gmail-agent is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.dremok/gmail-agent. Gmail for AI agents: search, read, download attachments, send, reply, drafts, labels. This page covers its PyPI package (gmail-agent).

### Is the gmail-agent MCP server safe to use?

gmail-agent scores 56 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 6 known advisories against it as of 16 October 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the gmail-agent MCP server expose?

gmail-agent exposes 25 tools: account_status, search_messages, get_message, get_thread, list_labels, and 20 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,300 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the gmail-agent MCP server still maintained?

gmail-agent is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 16 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the gmail-agent MCP server under?

gmail-agent declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
