Receive email — check what arrived, wait for a specific message, and read full threads. Use REACTIVELY when the user wants an address to receive replies, verification codes, alerts, or signups, or asks "did anything come in?" / "check the inbox" / "wait for the reply." Use PROACTIVELY when you sent something and need to watch for the response, or are building an email-driven workflow that triggers on receipt. Requires the Primitive MCP server (bundled).

Primitive — receive and read email

This skill uses the bundled Primitive MCP server (primitive) to read inbound email that arrived at a managed *.primitive.email address or a custom verified domain. No SMTP or polling loop to build yourself.

When to use

The user needs an address to receive a reply, verification code, alert, or signup confirmation.
The user asks "did anything come in?", "check the inbox", or "wait for the reply."
You sent something with the primitive-chat skill and need to watch for the response.

How to use

Check readiness. Call getInboxStatus to confirm the inbox is set up (domain verified, route deployed) before telling the user it can receive mail.
List or search. Use listEmails for the most recent inbound messages, or searchEmails with sender/subject filters to find a specific one.
Read the full thread. Call getEmail for one message's parsed content and delivery state, or getConversation with an inbound email id to pull the full back-and-forth to pass as context to a model.
Wait for a specific message. When you expect a reply that has not arrived yet, use awaitReply against the message id you are waiting on rather than polling listEmails in a loop.

Notes

All reading tools are readOnlyHint — safe to call without confirmation.
If the user has no inbox yet, they can provision a free *.primitive.email address from their Primitive account.
