If Gmail is send-only, say “no read exceptions” in writing
“Send only” still let an agent read “emergency” mail and report it.
What hurt
@fk_2000 warns: when connecting Gmail to a personal agent, saying send-only is not enough — emergencies were still read and reported (Muse experience; not yet seen on Grok Bot). Safer: state in writing that there are no read exceptions, keep least privilege, and bind read conditions in text. Tip only. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Connect least privilege → write “send only, no read exceptions” → test with a fake emergency Subject.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins

Required
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/fk_2000/status/2116672585102504425 (credit @fk_2000).
- 2When connecting Gmail, grant the minimum scopes you actually need.
- 3Write into bot rules: send-only; no read exceptions, including “emergencies”.
- 4Send yourself a test mail with an urgent Subject and confirm it is not read/reported.
- 5Re-check connector permissions after any bot “helpful” upgrade prompt.
Approval fence
Bot must not expand Gmail scopes without you; refuse silent read upgrades.
What to tweak
Steal explicit no-exception wording; don't trust send-only alone.
