Read and send mail for an ACG mailbox via the shared Claude-MSP-Access Graph app (fabb3421), defaulting to the running user's mailbox from identity.json (mike/howard). Send and reply are hard-gated: full To/Cc/Subject/Body preview + explicit confirm, external recipients flagged, no retries/bulk, saved to Sent. Read path verified live; token cached to .claude/tmp (gitignored), secret from SOPS vault. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

/mailbox — ACG M365 mailbox (read + send as you)
Read and send mail for an Arizona Computer Guru mailbox via Microsoft Graph, using the shared Claude-MSP-Access app. Defaults to the mailbox of the user running it (from identity.json).
Usage
/mailbox Recent inbox messages
/mailbox unread Unread messages
/mailbox search <query> Search (Graph $search: from:, subject:, or free text)
/mailbox from <email> Messages from a sender
/mailbox read <id|search> Full body of a message
/mailbox send Compose + send (GATED — preview + confirm)
/mailbox reply <id> Reply to a message (GATED — preview + confirm)
/mailbox --as <email> <subcmd> Target a different ACG mailbox (e.g. howard@azcomputerguru.com)
What it does
Microsoft Graph access to ACG's own mailboxes (azcomputerguru.com tenant). Reading is unrestricted; sending and replying are always gated behind a full draft preview + explicit confirmation. Sends go out as the mailbox owner (your From:), saved to your Sent Items.
Scope boundary: this is for ACG's OWN mailboxes. For reading a CLIENT tenant's mailboxes (breach checks, rule audits), use /remediation-tool — same Graph app (fabb3421), different purpose.
API Configuration
- App: Claude-MSP-Access (Graph API),
client_id = fabb3421-8b34-484b-bc17-e46de9703418(application permissions incl. Mail.ReadWrite + Mail.Send, tenant-wide). - Tenant:
azcomputerguru.com - Secret: SOPS vault
msp-tools/claude-msp-access-graph-api.sops.yaml->credentials.credential. Read with command substitution; never hardcode, never print it. - Mailbox (default): resolved from
identity.json.user->mike=mike@azcomputerguru.com,howard=howard@azcomputerguru.com. Override with--as <email>. - Token:
client_credentials, scopehttps://graph.microsoft.com/.default. Cache to$REPO_ROOT/.claude/tmp/mailbox-token.json(gitignored), ~55 min TTL. - Graph base:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0
Hard Rules (sending email is irreversible — no exceptions)
- NEVER send or reply without showing the FULL draft (To / Cc / Subject / Body) and getting an explicit
yes. A permission prompt is not enough — confirm the content in chat. - One send per confirmation. No bulk sends, no loops, no auto-replies. Re-confirm every individual message.
- External recipients: call out in the preview any recipient outside
azcomputerguru.comso the user sees exactly who receives it. - Sends go out as the identity user (From = your address) with
saveToSentItems: true. Do not spoof a different From. - After an ambiguous send result (no 202, timeout, error): do NOT retry. Verify by checking Sent Items (
GET /users/<mbx>/mailFolders/sentitems/messages?$top=3) before any further action — Graph sendMail is not idempotent. - Reading is fine (list/search/read) — no confirmation needed.
- Windows: use
pyfor Graph HTTP/JSON (urllib),jqfor parsing where used, ASCII markers ([OK]/[ERROR]). Do NOT use/tmp(use$REPO_ROOT/.claude/tmp/). Never echo the secret or bearer token. - No automatic mailbox actions (no auto-archive/delete/flag) — this skill reads and, on confirmation, sends. Nothing else.
Implementation
Setup — resolve repo root, mailbox, and token
IDENTITY_PATH="${HOME}/.claude/identity.json"
[ -f "$IDENTITY_PATH" ] || IDENTITY_PATH="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)/.claude/identity.json"
REPO_ROOT=$(jq -r '.claudetools_root // empty' "$IDENTITY_PATH"); [ -z "$REPO_ROOT" ] && REPO_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
USER_ID=$(jq -r '.user // empty' "$IDENTITY_PATH")
case "$USER_ID" in
mike) MAILBOX="mike@azcomputerguru.com" ;;
howard) MAILBOX="howard@azcomputerguru.com" ;;
*) echo "[ERROR] Unknown identity user '$USER_ID' — pass --as <email>"; ;;
esac
# --as override: if the user passed --as <email>, set MAILBOX to it.
VAULT="$REPO_ROOT/.claude/scripts/vault.sh"
Token (cached, ~55 min) and Graph helper — run via py
All Graph calls go through this py helper. It reads the secret from the vault, caches the token, and exposes get/post. Reuse the pattern per command.

Send (GATED) — /mailbox send
- Gather: To, Cc (optional), Subject, Body. Draft the body (Ollama allowed for prose; Claude reviews).
- Show the full preview in chat and wait for explicit
yes:
DRAFT (send as <MAILBOX>)
From: <MAILBOX>
To: <recipients> <- flag any non-azcomputerguru.com recipient
Cc: <recipients or none>
Subject: <subject>
Body:
<body>
Send this? (yes/no)
- On
yes, POSTsendMail(response is 202 Accepted, empty body):
msg = {"message": {
"subject": SUBJECT,
"body": {"contentType": "HTML", "content": BODY_HTML},
"toRecipients": [{"emailAddress":{"address":a}} for a in TO],
"ccRecipients": [{"emailAddress":{"address":a}} for a in CC]},
"saveToSentItems": True}
st, d = graph("POST", f"/users/{MAILBOX}/sendMail", msg)
print("[OK] sent (202)" if st == 202 else f"[ERROR] send returned {st}: {d}")
- If not 202: do NOT retry.
GET /users/{MAILBOX}/mailFolders/sentitems/messages?$top=3&$select=subject,sentDateTime,toRecipientsto confirm whether it actually went.
Reply (GATED) — /mailbox reply <id>
Same preview + confirm. Then:
st, d = graph("POST", f"/users/{MAILBOX}/messages/{MSG_ID}/reply",
{"comment": REPLY_TEXT}) # replies to sender, quotes original; 202 expected
# replyAll: use /reply -> /replyAll. To add/override recipients, pass {"message":{"toRecipients":[...]}, "comment": "..."}.
Response shapes / notes
- List/search:
{ "value": [ {message}, ... ] }. Single message: the object directly. sendMail/reply/replyAll: HTTP 202, empty body — success is the status code, not a body.$searchand$filtercannot be combined onmessages. Use one or the other.- Message bodies are usually HTML — strip tags for readable display (helper
strip_html). - GuruProtect banner text ("External / Spam / Phish ...") is injected into inbound bodies; ignore it when summarizing.
Attribution
API calls authenticate as the shared Claude-MSP-Access app, but a sendMail/reply from /users/<mailbox>/... goes out with that mailbox as the From: and lands in that mailbox's Sent Items — i.e. it genuinely sends as you. Only the identity user's own mailbox is targeted by default; --as is for deliberately operating another ACG mailbox.
