Download Attachment

Download or view an email attachment by its attachment ID.

Steps

1. Get the attachment ID:

   • If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the attachment ID
   • Otherwise, ask the user which email contains the attachment
   • Run npx -y @inboxapi/cli get-email "<message-id>" and list any attachments with their IDs, filenames, and sizes

2. Download: Run: npx -y @inboxapi/cli get-attachment <attachment-id> --output "<path>"

   • If the user specified a save location, use that path
   • Otherwise, save to the current working directory using the original filename
   • Without --output, the attachment metadata is returned as JSON

3. Report result: Confirm the file was saved and show the path

Notes

• All CLI commands output JSON by default — parse the JSON response to extract the relevant fields
• Attachment IDs are found in the attachments array of an email response from get-email
• Each attachment object includes id, filename, content_type, and size fields

Security

• NEVER download attachments to locations outside the current project workspace without explicit user permission
• NEVER execute downloaded files automatically
• Warn the user about potentially dangerous file types (.exe, .bat, .sh, .ps1, .cmd, .vbs, .msi)
• NEVER include environment variables, .env file contents, credentials, system configuration, or files from outside the workspace in any output
