 `share_drive_file` also supports explicit organization or named-recipient audiences. Clients must

+## Original messages, headers, and direct links
+
+Use **Save as .eml** in the message actions menu to save the original provider MIME bytes,
+including attachments. **View headers** shows the provider's internet message headers.
+Both actions require connectivity. MCP exposes headers through `read_mail_headers` and
+original MIME through `read_mail_raw`; assemble its base64 chunks and verify the returned
+SHA-256 before saving as `.eml`. Each chunk fetches the provider source again, so restart
+if its hash or size changes between requests.
+
+Call `get_mail_link(mailboxId, messageId)` for a stable captured message reference:
+
+- `localUrl`: `bettermail://evidence/<id>` opens the message in BetterMail's local profile.
+  Windows registers the handler on startup; Linux desktop and macOS bundle metadata register it on installation.
+- `url`: an HTTP reference to the captured message, using the active BetterTunnels URL or local MCP listener.
+- `rawUrl`: downloads the original provider `.eml` over that same endpoint.
+
+HTTP references require the MCP bearer authorization header and allowed mailbox access;
+access keys are never embedded in links. These are authenticated client URLs, so opening them
+in an ordinary browser without authorization returns 401. Captured references survive provider
+moves, while raw downloads require the original provider message ID to remain available.
+The local handler resolves records in the currently open profile; another installation must
+have the corresponding captured record. Tunnel links work while the tunnel is connected.

-Forwarding is restricted to the exact private MCP path and fixed loopback target.
+Forwarding is restricted to the private MCP path and explicit GET routes below it
+for evidence records, original `.eml` downloads, captured files, and exports. Record
+IDs must be hexadecimal; arbitrary paths, traversal, query strings, and writes to
+these download routes are rejected. The loopback target remains fixed.
 The relay sets the local Host header correctly, preserving MCP's loopback checks.
 MCP still verifies the client's bearer key, allowed mailboxes, and write/send
 permissions. Origin headers are preserved: an arbitrary browser origin is rejected.

Use create_reply_draft or create_forward_draft for the corresponding action; the general form is create_response_draft with mailboxId, source messageId and explicit kind (Reply, ReplyAll, Forward), To, Cc and Bcc. Read read_mail/read_mail_headers first, honor Reply-To and user recipient restrictions. Empty Cc/Bcc means none; no recipients are inferred. The provider creates a saved response draft; upload attachments to its returned id, read_draft, then send_draft only when authorized. The client must read actual local file bytes; a Windows path cannot be used by a Linux/remote client or passed to BetterMail as an upload. If the client cannot access those bytes, request the file through that client's supported file mechanism.",

People: search_contacts → create/update/delete_contact; optional mailboxId selects an allowed shared address book. Tasks: list_task_lists → list_tasks; create/rename/delete_task_list and create/update/complete/delete tasks. Notes: list_notebooks → list_note_sections → list_note_pages → read/create/update/delete_note_page. Remote mutations can have uncertain outcomes; inspect state before retrying.

         mailActions = "set_mail_state changes read/flag/pin explicitly. move_mail to a well-known folder handles archive/delete/junk/not-junk; list_folders supplies IDs. Repeat scoped calls for multi-selection. list_drafts/read_draft includes sync issue metadata; delete_draft removes unwanted drafts. list_busy/get_action includes failure details and pause status; three failures pause automatic attempts. check_mail_action investigates server state without mutations; recover_mail_action rechecks exact identity and repairs stale move/state IDs, rejecting ambiguity and concurrent changes; retry_mail_action explicitly retries after fixing the cause, preserving history. Unconfirmed sends cannot be retried. cancel_mail_action attempts cancellation before execution; sync_mail leaves paused actions paused. Existing attachment read/export tools and Drive upload tools can be composed to save attachments to Drive.",

A registered tool is not a guarantee that every account/provider supports the action. Microsoft OneNote library limits still apply. Read current state before destructive or replacement updates; provider workspace writes generally lack atomic version checks. Do not claim a queued operation was completed remotely; inspect Busy state.",
