Can the AI send emails autonomously on my behalf?

Yes, if authorized by you in the conversational context. The `send_email` tool allows fully crafting, attaching subject lines, and dispatching payloads out of your alias.

How does searching work in a massively clogged inbox?

The integration exposes a wrapper around Google's native filtering syntax. You simply supply native params like "is:unread from:dev" and the egress bounds automatically stream only small context snippets.

Is my email data retained or trained by the server?

No, Vurb MCP architecture operates exclusively locally. The network connection executes your query endpoint-to-endpoint securely matching Google standard scopes directly to your client.
