Gmail API for AI Agents

Connect the Gmail API to your AI agent through Swytchcode. Call the Gmail API from the agent stack you already run. Swytchcode supplies the manifest, then handles authentication, retries, idempotency, and validation on every call.

Use cases

What can you build with the Gmail API?

1. Call Gmail directly from an AI agent without writing custom auth, retry, or error-handling code.
2. Get the right endpoints and call sequence for the workflow you need, instead of having the agent explore the Gmail API surface.
3. Chain Gmail with other approved integrations in one workflow, each step validated against your policy before it runs.
4. Give an agent safe read/write access to Gmail in production, with idempotent retries if a call fails.

Setup guide

How to connect the Gmail API to an AI agent

Four steps, no SDK, no boilerplate. Every Gmail call routed through Swytchcode is idempotency-keyed and safe to retry.

1. Install the CLI
   Run "npx swytchcode" to install the Swytchcode CLI—no account required to start.

2. Pull the manifest
   Run "swytchcode get gmail" to pull the Gmail API manifest, including its schema and available actions.

3. Authenticate once
   Provide your Gmail API credentials a single time. Swytchcode stores and refreshes them so your agent never handles raw secrets.

4. Call it from your agent
   Run "swytchcode exec gmail. --key value" from any agent or script. No SDK, no framework lock-in.

Copy

swytchcode get gmail
swytchcode exec gmail.<action> --key value
