      "Title": "Notes from a production deployment",
      "Excerpt": "First, thank you for this project. We needed exactly one thing that Anthropic's built-in Gmail connector doesn't do — return the *contents* of an attachment — and `gmail-mcp` was the only self-hostable option we found that treats the Google credential as something the operator keeps. The commit history was a large part of why we chose it: `spend a one-time state when it is read, not after it is checked` and `drop a client-supplied grant header at the boundary` are not the commits of someone who ",

      "Title": "Decide when to adopt the 2026-07-28 MCP specification",
      "Excerpt": "The 2026-07-28 revision makes the protocol stateless: the `initialize` handshake and the `Mcp-Session-Id` header are retired, each request carries its own identity and capabilities in `_meta`, method and tool names move into `Mcp-Method` and `Mcp-Name` headers, and Dynamic Client Registration is deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents.\n\nThe session model is load-bearing here. The Durable Object is addressed as `streamable-http:${sessionId}`, and the owner claim in its storage, `isOw",

      "Title": "list_drafts sends metadataHeaders to an endpoint that has no such parameter",
      "Excerpt": "`list_drafts` requests `format=metadata` with `metadataHeaders=To&metadataHeaders=Cc&…`. The `users.drafts.get` method accepts only `format`, `id` and `userId`; Google's frontend ignores unknown query parameters rather than rejecting them, so the call returns every header instead of the four intended.\n\nNothing fails. Draft header blocks are small, so the cost is a little wasted payload per draft. Removing the parameters is near-zero risk and buys correspondingly little.",

      "Title": "inlinePart has no Content-ID length guard",
      "Excerpt": "`filePart` measures its assembled header lines and refuses a filename that cannot fit. `inlinePart` validates the shape of a Content-ID but not its length, so a cid above roughly 985 characters produces a header line past 998 octets.\n\nThe value is caller-supplied and nothing plausible writes one that long. Gmail refuses the send either way, so the outcome is an error with a less useful message.",

      "Excerpt": "`assertHeaderSafe` rejects any header value containing CR or LF, and a test pins that `subject: \"s\\nX-Evil: 1\"` throws. That is deliberate: refusing an injection attempt in a caller-supplied subject is the safe answer.\n\nIt also blocks an ordinary flow. Gmail returns some notification subjects with a trailing newline — Search Console and Google Store both do — so a model that reads a subject with `get_message` and passes it to `create_draft`, `send_message` or `update_draft` gets a hard error nam",

      "Excerpt": "`reply_all` drops the threading headers when the original's `Message-ID` fails `normalizeMessageId`, and still sends `threadId` on the request.\n\nGoogle documents that adding a message to a thread requires the thread id, `References` and `In-Reply-To` set per RFC 2822, and a matching subject. This request meets the first and not the second.\n\nWhat Gmail actually does with it is unverified: it may accept the message, deliver it as a separate conversation, or refuse the request. Each outcome implies",

      "Title": "A claimed session cold-woken by another account answers 500, not 403",
      "Excerpt": "When a session object is cold and a request arrives carrying a different account's grant, `init()` refuses through `ownerProps()` and the exception propagates out of `getAgentByName`. The caller receives a 500, and the `isOwnedBy` branch a line below — written to answer 403 for exactly this case — is never reached.\n\nAccess is denied either way, the object recovers for its owner on the next request, and reaching the path at all requires the victim's session id.\n\nThe warm-object case does return t",

      "Excerpt": "In the fallback, `kept` filters out any message whose individual fetch failed, and `omitted = all.length - kept.length` absorbs the loss. The reply reports a count with fewer messages in it and no indication which are missing or why.\n\nThe rest of the server does the opposite: `search_messages` and `list_drafts` pass `{error}` items through in place, and the second map in `get_thread` itself lets them through on the normal path.\n\nThe failure is incompleteness, never wrong content, and it only occ",

      "Title": "get_thread's oversize fallback retains maxMessages × 6 MB",
      "Excerpt": "The normal `get_thread` path bounds a whole thread to one 6 MB response. When that response is refused, the fallback lists message ids and fetches a window individually, each capped at 6 MB, and holds every parsed message before the character budget trims anything at `src/index.ts:485`.\n\nMeasured through the handler: a fallback over 24 messages, each carrying a 1,000,000-character encoded body, fetched and retained all 24 and grew process RSS by 286,212,096 bytes. Cloudflare allows [128 MB per i",

      "Excerpt": "`MAX_HEADER_RUN` (900) exists to keep a header line inside RFC 5322's 998-**octet** cap, but `fitsHeaderLine` in `src/gmail.ts` compares `run.length`, which counts UTF-16 code units. A run outside ASCII therefore passes a check it should fail.\n\nTwo entry points reach it:\n\n- A bare address of roughly 330+ CJK characters.\n- `In-Reply-To` / `References`: a 606-character multibyte message id survives `normalizeMessageId` and produces a 1,205-octet line.\n\nThe outcome is a refusal from Gmail rather th",
