Can the AI rewrite an old HTML email template and import it straight into SparkPost?

Yes! The bot reads your existing content using `get_template_details`, uses its intelligence to fully redesign the HTML block recursively (e.g. updating tables to modern styling natively), and finally invokes `create_template` to overwrite or deploy the modernized file safely to the cloud.

How easy is it to send a test email from the IDE without a UI interface?

It takes one sentence. You can type: 'Send via SparkPost a test email to admin@test.com titled Server OK'. The LLM gathers the keys, utilizes `send_email`, structures the JSON transmission array natively, and confirms back to you upon a 2xx HTTP delivery success.

Can it search for specifically why emails are bouncing from a certain provider?

Yes. While the `list_bounce_events` gets the core list, prompting the LLM to 'diagnose our latest bounces' lets the AI digest all textual rejection codes (e.g., SMTP 550 spam blocks vs 421 rate limits) and present a structured summary of where and why deliverability is faltering.
