Can my AI draft and actually send emails natively?

Yes! Provide the recipient, subject, and prompt your agent on what the body should look like. The agent leverages the `send_message` tool interacting directly through the Nylas provider, and your real account will dispatch the email in seconds.

How can I check if I have upcoming meeting clashes?

Your agent queries your complete agenda using the `list_events` tool. Describe your timeframe, and the AI will scan down the returned events, identifying overlapping blocks or showing you pure free space availability.

Will the agent read my historical email archives?

When using `list_messages`, the agent fetches paginated incoming boxes. You can search directly by providing queries within the prompt, letting the agent fetch and summarize the content of past conversation threads effectively.
