Gmail enables an Agent to interact with Gmail, allowing it to read, search, send, and manage emails.

​
Prerequisites

The Gmail toolkit requires Google API client libraries and proper authentication setup. Install the required dependencies:

pip install google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib

You’ll also need to set up Google Cloud credentials:

  1. Go to Google Cloud Console
  2. Create a project or select an existing one
  3. Enable the Gmail API
  4. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials
  5. Set up environment variables:
export GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here
export GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret_here
export GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id_here
export GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost  # Default value
