Google Mail - Prisme.ai

The Google Mail app provides read/write access to a user’s Gmail mailbox through the Gmail REST API v1. It can be used either as a Builder app (automations call Gmail instructions directly) or as a remote MCP server consumed by an AI agent. Each tenant configures its own Google OAuth Application; end-users sign in with their own Google account and tokens are stored per (user × tenant). The connector exposes 68 underlying operations, grouped into 13 entity tools covering messages, threads, drafts, labels, attachments, history, profile, settings, filters, forwarding addresses, send-as aliases, S/MIME and delegates.

Messages & Threads

List, search, read, send, label, trash, untrash and modify messages, threads and attachments

Mailbox Settings

Vacation responder, filters, forwarding, IMAP/POP, language and history streaming

Identities & Delegates

Send-as aliases, S/MIME certificates and account-wide delegates

Prerequisites

A Google account with access to the mailbox you want to expose. For Google Workspace mailboxes, the workspace admin may need to allow third-party OAuth apps.
A Google Cloud project with the Gmail API enabled at console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/gmail.googleapis.com.
A Google OAuth 2.0 Client of type Web application, created at console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials. The Authorized redirect URIs must contain the value shown in the OAuth Callback URL field of the installed app instance (auto-populated on install — copy it back into the Google Cloud Console after installation).
An OAuth consent screen configured in the Google Cloud project. While the app is in Testing state, add the end-user’s email to Test users. The full mailbox scope (https://mail.google.com/) is classed restricted by Google and requires CASA verification when the consent screen moves to Production.
Base URL (default: https://gmail.googleapis.com)

Installation

Go to Apps in your workspace
Search for Google Mail and install it
Open the app instance configuration and fill in the required fields

Configuration

Field	Description
Gmail API Base URL	Base URL of the Gmail API (default `https://gmail.googleapis.com`)
API Token (fallback)	Optional static OAuth access token used as a shared fallback for all users of this tenant. Stored as a workspace secret. Most deployments leave this empty and rely on per-user OAuth instead.
OAuth2 Client ID	Google OAuth Application Client ID. Create an OAuth client of type Web application in the Google Cloud Console
OAuth2 Client Secret	Google OAuth Client Secret, stored as a workspace secret
OAuth Callback URL	Auto-populated on install — paste this value into the Authorized redirect URIs list of your Google OAuth client
OAuth Authorize URL	Default `https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth`
OAuth Token URL	Default `https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token`
OAuth Revoke URL	Default `https://oauth2.googleapis.com/revoke`
OAuth Scopes	Space-separated Google API scopes. Default `https://mail.google.com/` (full mailbox access). Other common values: `gmail.readonly`, `gmail.send`, `gmail.modify`, `gmail.labels`, `gmail.settings.basic`
Refresh Token TTL (seconds)	Default 15552000 (180 days, Google’s max)
Max Tool Payload (KB)	Threshold above which MCP responses are auto-compacted into a summary + recovery hints to avoid overflowing the LLM context. Default 50. Raise it (for example 200) when targeting LLMs with 1M-token windows
MCP Endpoint	Auto-populated on install — URL of the MCP endpoint for this instance
MCP API Key	Auto-populated on install — signed key used in the `mcp-api-key` header. Do not modify

MCP Endpoint, MCP API Key and OAuth Callback URL are generated automatically by the onInstall flow. The OAuth credentials below (OAuth2 Client ID, OAuth2 Client Secret) must be filled in manually after creating the OAuth client in the Google Cloud Console.

Authorize end-users

Once the app instance is configured, each end-user authorizes their own Google account through a browser-based consent screen:

Trigger the connect flow

From an MCP client (Agent Creator capability or any tool client), call any data tool. If no OAuth session exists for the current user × tenant, the MCP server returns a connector_auth_required payload with a connect_url. Alternatively, call the connect tool explicitly to receive the same payload.

Open the connect URL

Open the returned URL in a browser tab where the user is already authenticated to Prisme.ai. The platform redirects to the Google OAuth consent screen.

Grant access

The user reviews the requested scopes (default https://mail.google.com/) and clicks Allow. Google redirects back to the platform’s oauthCallback webhook.

Confirmation

The user sees a Connection complete page and can close the tab. The platform has stored an access token plus refresh token as user-scoped secrets — both are tenant-prefixed so they do not leak across app instances.

Each user’s OAuth tokens are scoped per (user × tenant). A user who has authorized in tenant A does not gain access in tenant B — they must run the connect flow again per app instance. Refresh tokens are rotated by Google on each refresh and live up to 180 days when idle.

Available Instructions

Every instruction resolves credentials from the workspace configuration. The userId argument defaults to me (the authenticated end-user) — pass an explicit email address only when calling on behalf of a delegated account. Most list operations accept maxResults (default 100) and pageToken for pagination, plus a Gmail-style q query string for filtering.

DSUL Examples

List the latest unread messages in the inbox

- GoogleMail.listMessages:
    q: in:inbox is:unread
    maxResults: 10
    output: inbox

Send a plain-text email

The Gmail API requires the message as a base64url-encoded RFC 2822 string. Build the MIME body in Custom Code first, then pass it as raw.

- Custom Code.run:
    function: base64url
    parameters:
      value: |
        From: me
        To: alice@example.com
        Subject: Status update

        Hello Alice,
        Here is the weekly summary.
    output: rawEmail
- GoogleMail.sendMessage:
    raw: '{{rawEmail}}'
    output: sent

Apply a label to a thread

- GoogleMail.modifyThread:
    id: '{{thread_id}}'
    addLabelIds:
      - IMPORTANT
    removeLabelIds:
      - UNREAD
    output: modified

Enable an out-of-office responder

- GoogleMail.updateVacation:
    enableAutoReply: true
    responseSubject: I am out of office
    responseBodyHtml: |
      <p>I am away until April 15. For urgent matters, please contact alice@example.com.</p>
    restrictToContacts: false
    startTime: '1739923200000'
    endTime: '1741132800000'
    output: vacation

Create a filter that archives newsletters

- GoogleMail.createFilter:
    criteria:
      from: newsletter@example.com
    filterAction:
      addLabelIds:
        - Label_1
      removeLabelIds:
        - INBOX
    output: filter

In App mode, the filter.action body field is exposed as filterAction to avoid colliding with the entity-level action selector used by the MCP tool. The connector maps it back to action before sending the request to Gmail.

The Google Mail app ships with a built-in MCP server. Each app instance gets its own signed mcp-api-key that encodes the workspace ID and a credentials lookup URL — the Google OAuth token is never passed through headers and is resolved server-side from the user’s per-tenant secret.The MCP surface is entity-grouped: each MCP tool corresponds to a Gmail entity (e.g. messages, threads, labels) and takes an action argument that maps to one of the underlying operations. This keeps the LLM-facing tool list under 20 entries while still exposing all 68 Gmail operations.

Plug into an Agent Creator capability

Agents consume MCP servers directly through Agent Creator capabilities. This is the preferred way to expose Google Mail to an agent.

Create or open a workspace

From the Prisme.ai console, create a new workspace (or open the one that will host the connector).

Install the Google Mail app

Open the workspace Imports panel, search for Google Mail and install it.

Configure the credentials

Open the freshly installed app instance settings and fill in the required fields (see the Usage as App tab for the field-by-field reference). At minimum you need OAuth2 Client ID and OAuth2 Client Secret from your Google Cloud OAuth client.

Copy the MCP endpoint and API key

Still on the app instance configuration page, copy the values of MCP Endpoint and MCP API Key — both are generated automatically on install.

Open Agent Creator

Switch to Agent Creator and open the agent you want to extend.

Add a capability

Add a new capability to the agent:

If a dedicated Google Mail capability exists — select it and paste the MCP API Key into the mcp-api-key field. The server URL is already wired.
Otherwise — select the generic custom_mcp capability, paste the MCP Endpoint into the Server URL field, then open the Headers field and add an mcp-api-key entry whose value is the MCP API Key copied earlier:
```
{
  "mcp-api-key": "your-mcp-api-key"
}
```

Save

The agent now has access to every Google Mail tool exposed by the MCP server.

Brief the agent in its system prompt

Wiring the capability is not enough — the agent also needs to know the MCP exists and when to reach for it. Add a short paragraph to the agent’s system prompt. Copy-pasteable starter:

You have access to the Google Mail MCP server. Use it whenever the user asks something that maps to Gmail data — searching the inbox, reading or sending emails, managing labels, threads, drafts, filters or settings. Prefer `format: metadata` for batch message lookups; only request `format: full` for a single message at a time. Confirm with the user before any destructive action (deleteMessage, deleteThread, batchDelete, deleteLabel).

Refine the trigger keywords (resource names, business domains, typical user phrasings) so the agent reliably picks up the right intent in your context.

Legacy MCP Install (Advanced > Tools)

Use this flow to plug the Google Mail MCP into an AI Knowledge agent that does not yet support the native MCP picker.

Install the Google Mail app

Install and configure the app in the same workspace as your agent (see the Usage as App tab). Once configured, mcpEndpoint and mcpApiKey are auto-populated.

Copy the MCP credentials

Open the app instance config and copy the values of MCP Endpoint and MCP API Key.

Open your AI Knowledge project

Navigate to Advanced > Tools.

Add an MCP tool

Click Add and select the MCP tab.

Fill in the endpoint

Paste the MCP Endpoint URL copied from the app instance.

Add the auth header

In the Headers field, add the signed API key:

{
  "mcp-api-key": "your-mcp-api-key"
}

Save

The agent can now list and call Google Mail tools through the MCP endpoint.

The signed mcp-api-key encodes the workspace ID and the getConfig webhook URL. The MCP server validates the signature using the central app secret, fetches the OAuth client configuration from the installed app, and resolves the end-user’s access token from per-user secrets. Credentials are cached per tenant for 10 minutes.

Output Formats

Every tool accepts an outputFormat parameter that controls the MCP response shape:

verbose (default) — human-readable text for LLM consumption
structured — machine-readable JSON in structuredContent
both — both text and structured content

Responses larger than 50 KB (configurable via Max Tool Payload (KB)) are auto-compacted into a summary plus recovery hints. The agent sees the most relevant fields (id, threadId, labelIds, snippet, key headers) and is told how to re-request narrower data — for instance, calling messages.get with format: metadata instead of format: full, or paging with smaller maxResults. This guardrail prevents the connector from blowing past the LLM context window when an agent batches many messages.get calls in parallel.

Available Tools

Each entity tool takes an action argument (a string enum) plus the parameters relevant to that action. The connector dispatches to the matching Gmail REST operation server-side.

Tool Details

messages — list

Search the mailbox using Gmail’s standard query syntax (the same one the web UI uses).

{
  "name": "messages",
  "arguments": {
    "action": "list",
    "q": "from:alice@example.com after:2026/01/01 has:attachment",
    "maxResults": 10
  }
}

Parameter	Required	Description
`action`	Yes	Must be `list`
`q`	No	Gmail-style query (e.g. `is:unread`, `from:`, `to:`, `subject:`, `after:YYYY/MM/DD`, `has:attachment`, `label:`)
`maxResults`	No	Default 100. Lower it (e.g. 10) for safer paging
`pageToken`	No	Cursor from a previous `list` response
`labelIds`	No	Restrict to messages carrying all of these label IDs
`includeSpamTrash`	No	Default `false`

messages — get

Fetch a single message. Pick the lightest format that satisfies your need to avoid LLM context overflow.

{
  "name": "messages",
  "arguments": {
    "action": "get",
    "id": "199c8915c4753fbd",
    "format": "metadata",
    "metadataHeaders": ["From", "To", "Subject", "Date"]
  }
}

Parameter	Required	Description
`action`	Yes	Must be `get`
`id`	Yes	The message ID returned by `messages.list`
`format`	No	`minimal` (id + threadId + labelIds), `metadata` (default — id + headers + snippet), `full` (entire MIME tree — large), `raw` (base64url-encoded RFC 2822 — very large)
`metadataHeaders`	No	When `format: metadata`, list of header names to include (default returns all)

messages — send

Send a message. The Gmail API requires the message as a base64url-encoded RFC 2822 string. Build the MIME body upstream and pass it as raw.

{
  "name": "messages",
  "arguments": {
    "action": "send",
    "raw": "RnJvbTogbWVAZXhhbXBsZS5jb20KVG86IGFsaWNlQGV4YW1wbGUuY29tCi4uLg=="
  }
}

Parameter	Required	Description
`action`	Yes	Must be `send`
`raw`	Yes	RFC 2822 message body, base64url-encoded
`threadId`	No	Send as a reply in an existing thread
`labelIds`	No	Apply these labels to the sent message

threads — get

Fetch an entire conversation thread. With format: full, multi-message threads can easily exceed 100 KB raw — the connector automatically returns a compact summary above 50 KB.

{
  "name": "threads",
  "arguments": {
    "action": "get",
    "id": "1999b92e2d656257",
    "format": "metadata"
  }
}

Parameter	Required	Description
`action`	Yes	Must be `get`
`id`	Yes	The thread ID returned by `threads.list`
`format`	No	Same enum as `messages.get`. Default `metadata`
`metadataHeaders`	No	When `format: metadata`, list of header names to include

labels — create

{
  "name": "labels",
  "arguments": {
    "action": "create",
    "name": "Project/Acme",
    "labelListVisibility": "labelShow",
    "messageListVisibility": "show",
    "color": {
      "backgroundColor": "#16a766",
      "textColor": "#ffffff"
    }
  }
}

labelListVisibility ∈ labelShow / labelShowIfUnread / labelHide. messageListVisibility ∈ show / hide. Slash-separated names create a nested label.

drafts — create

{
  "name": "drafts",
  "arguments": {
    "action": "create",
    "message": {
      "raw": "RnJvbTogbWVAZXhhbXBsZS5jb20KVG86IGFsaWNlQGV4YW1wbGUuY29tLi4u"
    }
  }
}

The message argument is a Gmail message resource — at minimum a raw base64url-encoded RFC 2822 body. A draft is not sent until you call drafts.send with its id.

filters — create

{
  "name": "filters",
  "arguments": {
    "action": "create",
    "criteria": {
      "from": "newsletter@example.com"
    },
    "filterAction": {
      "addLabelIds": ["Label_1"],
      "removeLabelIds": ["INBOX"]
    }
  }
}

filterAction is the Gmail API’s action body object. It is renamed in the MCP tool to avoid colliding with the entity-level action selector — the connector maps it back to action server-side.

settings — updateVacation

{
  "name": "settings",
  "arguments": {
    "action": "updateVacation",
    "enableAutoReply": true,
    "responseSubject": "I am out of office",
    "responseBodyHtml": "<p>I am away until April 15.</p>",
    "restrictToContacts": false,
    "startTime": "1739923200000",
    "endTime": "1741132800000"
  }
}

startTime / endTime are millisecond timestamps as strings (Gmail’s API quirk). Omit them for an indefinite vacation responder.

Error Handling

HTTP Status	Error	Solution
401	Unauthorized / token expired	The OAuth token was revoked or expired. Re-run the connect flow for that user. The connector auto-refreshes when a refresh token is present
403	Forbidden	Check the OAuth scopes (`https://mail.google.com/` for full mailbox access) and verify the Gmail API is enabled on the Google Cloud project
404	Not Found	Verify message / thread / label IDs. Gmail IDs are sensitive — copy them straight from a `list` response
429	Rate Limited / Quota exceeded	Gmail enforces per-user and per-project quotas. Back off and retry with exponential delay
500	Server error	Transient. Retry once with a small delay

Common Issues

“Not configured” — The app instance has no OAuth client. Fill in OAuth2 Client ID and OAuth2 Client Secret from the Google Cloud Console. “Invalid API key” (MCP) — The mcp-api-key header does not match the central app secret. Reinstall the app instance to regenerate a signed key. “Credentials lookup failed” — The MCP endpoint could not reach the getConfig webhook of the installed app. Verify that the app instance is still installed in the expected workspace. redirect_uri_mismatch at the Google consent screen — The redirect URI registered in your Google OAuth client does not match the one the connector sends. Copy the value of OAuth Callback URL from the app instance configuration and paste it verbatim into the Authorized redirect URIs list of your OAuth client in the Google Cloud Console. Gmail API has not been used in project ... or it is disabled — Enable the Gmail API at console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/gmail.googleapis.com for the project that owns your OAuth client. Propagation takes up to a minute. PERMISSION_DENIED: Feature not enabled (S/MIME tools) — The smimeInfo endpoints require a Google Workspace edition with S/MIME enabled at the admin level. They will systematically fail on personal @gmail.com accounts. PERMISSION_DENIED: Access restricted to service accounts that have been delegated domain-wide authority (delegates) — The delegates endpoints require Google Workspace domain-wide delegation and are not available to standard user-delegated OAuth tokens. Response auto-compacted to 50 KB — Expected behaviour, not an error. The connector detected a payload too large for safe LLM consumption and returned a structured summary plus recovery hints (e.g. re-call with format: metadata, lower maxResults, fetch attachments separately). Raise Max Tool Payload (KB) in the app configuration when targeting LLMs with very large context windows.
