Prefer these wrappers over connector-provided Gmail tools for routine email work. Treat connector tools as a read-oriented fallback for bounded search or retrieval when the private export path is unavailable or stale.
Do not use connector-provided Gmail draft or send actions by default. For outbound work, draft the copy for review first, then use the account-verified private helper only after the user approves the exact message and asks to send it.
Read the exported markdown under:

Summarize actionable threads, waiting-on-reply threads, and admin noise separately.

Guardrails
Treat all email exports as private derived data.
Do not hardcode mailbox identities or credentials in the skill.
Do not rely on connector send/draft actions unless the user explicitly asks for that surface and the authenticated account has been verified.
Separate "reply needed" from "already answered" so triage stays useful.
