+# MCP content operations
+
+Start with `get_capabilities`. It reports permissions, allowed mailbox/Drive/workspace accounts, limits, registered tools, and workflow guidance. Use `get_action_guide(topic)` with `mail`, `calendar`, `people`, `tasks`, `notes`, `drive`, or `all` for tool descriptions. This information comes from the running server, not a fixed tool-count assumption.
+
+If a listed tool is missing in a client, refresh discovery/reconnect, check the endpoint and running app version, and if necessary start a fresh client session. Do not claim an operation is unsupported solely because one client has an older list. The caller must use tools actually exposed to it.
+
+| Workspace | Content operations |
+| --- | --- |
+| Mail | Read/search messages and threads; read headers; create/edit/delete drafts; provider-backed reply/reply-all/forward drafts; importance, flags and receipt requests where supported; attachment upload/read/remove; send through Busy; move/archive/delete/junk/not-junk; read/flag/pin state; inspect/cancel pending actions and request sync |
+| Calendar | List calendars/events; create/edit/delete events with descriptions, attendees, reminders and recurrence; create an event from the full cached email body |
+| People | Search saved contacts, including allowed shared address books; create/edit/delete contacts with full contact details; search discovered correspondents and save them as contacts |
+| To Do | List/create/rename/delete task lists; list/create/edit/delete tasks; complete/reopen tasks; descriptions, due dates, reminders, recurrence, categories and importance |
+| Notes | Navigate notebooks, sections and pages; read page content; create/update/delete pages |
+| Drive | List/read/search via existing tools; create folders; upload/replace/download/rename/move/delete files; create read-only sharing links |
+
+Workspace account access is explicitly enabled in Settings → MCP and independent of mailboxes and Drive accounts. Edit permission applies to writes. Sending permission additionally gates mail sending and calendar operations that can issue invitations/updates/cancellations. These settings never replace user authorization for a particular send or public share. Settings/navigation/account sign-in and granting MCP access remain human actions in the app.
+
+## Reply with an attachment
+
+1. Read the source using `read_mail` and `read_mail_headers`; honor Reply-To and the user's recipient restrictions.
+2. Call `create_response_draft` with explicit `kind` (`Reply`, `ReplyAll`, or `Forward`) and the complete To, Cc and Bcc. Empty CC/BCC means none. It creates a real provider response draft; `create_draft` creates a new message.
+3. Read the returned draft, then use `begin_attachment_upload`, sequential `upload_attachment_chunk` calls, and `complete_attachment_upload`. Pass the exact current `updatedAt`, real byte size and SHA-256. Repeat serially with a fresh draft version for additional files.
+4. Read the complete draft and only call `send_draft` when explicitly authorized. Inspect Busy state for the remote outcome.
+
+The client must be able to read the actual file bytes. BetterMail does not read client paths or fetch arbitrary attachment URLs. A Windows path in a transcript is not an upload, nor evidence that another client can access the file. Obtain the file through the client's supported file mechanism when necessary.
+
+Oversized attachments can create a public OneDrive link during upload completion, before mail is sent; obtain sharing authorization first. Forwarding preserves source attachments. Response creation may have an uncertain outcome if interrupted after the provider creates the draft; inspect drafts before retrying.
+
+Microsoft 365 uses [provider response drafts](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/message-createreply?view=graph-rest-1.0). Gmail uses the source thread ID plus [reply headers](https://developers.google.com/workspace/gmail/api/guides/threads); draft updates preserve those headers when attachments/body change.
+
+## Provider limits and state
+
+Cross-account mail moves, Google Drive, and creating/deleting OneNote notebooks or sections are not supported by the current app/provider. OneNote's document-library limits still apply. A registered tool is not a guarantee that every account supports that action.
+
+Provider-backed workspace calls need connectivity. Mutations request normal background sync so the UI cache catches up; a stale cache is not proof a remote write failed. Read state before destructive or replacement updates. Notes have a best-effort modified-time guard; workspace provider writes generally do not offer atomic version checks. Paging uses offset/limit and should restart after collection changes. Do not blindly retry an uncertain remote mutation.
+
+### Stuck Busy actions
+
+`list_busy` and `get_action` expose the provider error, failure count, last attempt/failure timestamps,
+retry pause state and recovery guidance. Three failures pause automatic attempts; existing high-count
+items pause too. `check_mail_action` performs read-only server checks, including a bounded search
+that requires the exact Internet Message-ID within the same mailbox. A missing or ambiguous result
+is not evidence of deletion or delivery. `retry_mail_action` explicitly authorizes another attempt
+without erasing history; a subsequent failure pauses again. Fix the reported cause first. Unconfirmed
+sends cannot be retried through this tool. Earlier pending actions for the same message must be resolved
+first. A changed server ID is reported, not automatically rebound; verify and perform the intended
+operation in the provider before cancelling the obsolete local action.
