+# Scoped Agent Access
+
+Create a named access key under a mailbox's **Settings > Agent Access**. Select
+the exact mailboxes, permissions, and send mode. The selection belongs to that
+key, not to the mailbox currently open in the dashboard. Keys are shown once;
+only their SHA-256 hashes are stored. Uncheck **Agent access enabled** and save
+to revoke a key. Create a replacement key to rotate credentials.
+
+## Connections
+
+- Remote MCP: `https://<your-worker-host>/agent/mcp`
+- REST: `POST https://<your-worker-host>/agent/api/<tool-name>`
+- Header: `Authorization: Bearer <agent-key>`
+- REST request/response format: JSON, with `Content-Type: application/json`.
+- MCP transport: stateless Streamable HTTP, supporting clients with custom headers.
+- Keys cannot access `/api/v1/*`, the dashboard agent, or the legacy `/mcp` endpoint.
+- No deletion, mailbox administration, or folder mutation tools are exposed.
+
+For clients accepting MCP configuration with HTTP headers:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "agentic-inbox-agent": {
+      "url": "https://<your-worker-host>/agent/mcp",
+      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <agent-key>" }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Keep the actual key in the client's secret store or environment configuration.
+Client-specific configuration formats may differ. This is key authentication,
+not an OAuth login flow.
+
+## Permissions and modes
+
+| Tool | Required permissions |
+| --- | --- |
+| `list_mailboxes`, `get_mailbox` | Any active key; assigned mailboxes only |
+| `list_emails`, `get_email`, `get_thread`, `search_emails` | read |
+| `create_draft` | draft |
+| `generate_reply_draft` | read + draft |
+| `send_email` | send |
+| `send_reply`, `send_draft` | read + send |
+
+`draft_only` means a send request creates a draft and returns
+`status: "draft_saved_not_sent", sent: false`. `direct` allows actual delivery.
+The send permission is required in both cases. Disabling the send permission
+rejects send requests instead of silently converting them.
+
+All content submissions require `footer: { "enabled": true | false }`.
+Optional `footer.text` overrides the saved footer for this message only.
+`get_mailbox` returns the saved footer so the agent can inspect it first.
+An enabled but empty footer is rejected; it is not silently omitted.
+
+New keys default to drafts only, test mode off, and no extra AI verification of
+agent-supplied text. When test mode is enabled, configure an explicit test
+recipient. Optional recipient allowlists apply in addition to test mode. Limits are per key,
+mailbox, and UTC day. Attempted submissions count toward limits.
+
+## Generate a reply with inbox AI
+
+Call `generate_reply_draft` instead of supplying your own message body:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mailboxId": "hello@example.com",
+  "requestId": "reply-generation-unique-001",
+  "originalEmailId": "<internal-email-id>",
+  "instructions": "Write a concise, friendly answer.",
+  "footer": { "enabled": true }
+}
+```
+
+This works independently of the automatic-drafts setting. The inbox uses the
+mailbox's writing prompt and thread context, checks the incoming context with
+the existing injection scanner, generates text with Kimi K2.5, and verifies
+the draft with the existing draft verifier. The generating model has **no tools**
+and can neither send nor manage emails. The response includes `draftId`, `html`,
+`text`, and `sent: false`. Review using the response or `get_email`.
+
+To submit that draft:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mailboxId": "hello@example.com",
+  "requestId": "draft-submission-unique-001",
+  "draftId": "<draft-id>",
+  "footer": { "enabled": true }
+}
+```
+
+Use this body with `send_draft`. Existing drafts are never deleted. In
+draft-only mode a new review copy is saved. Drafts with CC/BCC or attachments
+must currently be sent from the dashboard; they are rejected, not truncated.
+
+For `send_email`, supply `mailboxId`, `requestId`, `to`, `subject`, `bodyHtml`,
+and `footer`. `send_reply` also requires `originalEmailId`. `create_draft`
+accepts supplied content only and cannot read or quote existing emails.
+
+## Retries and results
+
+Every write/generation requires a stable `requestId` (8-128 ASCII letters,
+digits, underscores or hyphens). Retry with the **same ID and same arguments**.
+An ID reused with different arguments is rejected. Replays return the existing
+outcome without sending or generating again. Draft content on replay is loaded
+from the current stored draft. Idempotency records are retained, with no expiry.
+
+- `sent`: provider accepted the message and the sent copy was saved. This is
+  not confirmation of final recipient delivery.
+- `sent_unrecorded`: provider accepted it but saving the sent copy failed.
+  **Do not resend.**
+- `outcome_unknown` or a pending-operation conflict: delivery may be uncertain.
+  Inspect the mailbox/provider before taking further action. **Do not use a new
+  requestId to retry automatically.**
+- `failed` / `rejected`: inspect the returned error.
+
+The same existing draft cannot be submitted directly twice with different IDs.
+If an attempt is uncertain, its submission reservation remains in place for
+safety. Activity is available under the agent's settings, including pending
+operations. Existing live emails are not rewritten or migrated.
+
+## Cloudflare Access deployment
+
+The dashboard and legacy endpoints remain protected by human Cloudflare Access
+login. The dedicated `/agent/*` namespace uses the scoped key validator in the
+Worker and rejects requests without a valid key even when a browser is logged in.
+
+When Cloudflare Access covers the entire hostname, add a **more specific** Access
+application for the same hostname's `/agent/*` path. For headless clients,
+prefer a Service Auth policy with a Cloudflare Service Token and send its
+`CF-Access-Client-Id` and `CF-Access-Client-Secret` headers in addition to the
+scoped Agent Access `Authorization` header. If Service Auth is not available to
+the client, a narrowly scoped Bypass policy for `/agent/*` can be used as a
+fallback; the Worker still requires the scoped key on every request. Do not
+bypass the hostname root, `/api/*`, or `/mcp`.
+
+Deploy and verify the key validator before enabling this path exception.
+
+No new R2 bucket, Durable Object class, or SQL migration is required. Credentials
+use `agent-access/credentials/` in the existing bucket. Operation receipts,
+counters and activity use new `agent-*` KV keys in the existing mailbox Durable
+Objects, without modifying their SQL schema or existing email rows.
+
+## Verification
+
+Run the focused checks with:
+
+```bash
+npm run test:agent-access
+npm run typecheck
+npm run build
+```

+## Scoped Agent Access
+
+Agentic Inbox can expose a dedicated `/agent/*` namespace for external
+automation clients. Access is created per named agent key and can be scoped to
+specific mailboxes and permissions.
+
+Supported permissions:
+
+- `read` — read emails, threads, and search results
+- `draft` — create drafts and generate reply drafts
+- `send` — submit new messages, replies, or existing drafts
+
+Each key can be configured with:
+
+- allowed mailboxes
+- draft-only or direct-send mode
+- test-recipient restrictions
+- recipient allowlists
+- daily send and AI-generation limits
+
+The remote MCP endpoint is:
+
+```text
+https://<your-worker-host>/agent/mcp
+```
+
+Clients authenticate with:
+
+```http
+Authorization: Bearer <agent-key>
+```
+
+The key is shown only once when created and is stored as a hash. The dashboard
+and legacy `/mcp` endpoints remain protected by the existing Cloudflare Access
+configuration. The `/agent/*` namespace must be protected separately with a
+path-specific Cloudflare Access policy or Service Auth configuration.
+
+All write operations require a stable `requestId` for idempotent retries.
+Send operations explicitly select whether the saved mailbox footer is included.

-Any user who passes the shared Cloudflare Access policy can access all mailboxes in this app by design. This includes the MCP server at `/mcp` -- external AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) connected via MCP can operate on any mailbox by passing a `mailboxId` parameter. There is no per-mailbox authorization; the Cloudflare Access policy is the single trust boundary.
+The dashboard and legacy `/mcp` endpoint continue to use the shared Cloudflare
+Access policy. External clients using `/agent/*` must additionally present a
+scoped Agent Access key, which is checked against the key's allowed mailboxes
+and permissions on every request. The legacy `/mcp` endpoint does not use these
+scoped keys and retains its existing shared-access behavior.
