  title: Mails.ai Metrics API
  version: 0.2.0
  description: 'The Mails.ai API gives AI agents a real email identity: send and receive

    transactional email. Mail received within your plan''s limits is scanned for prompt injection and

    reaches you as a typed event. With classification turned on (a paid-plan feature), new mail can also

    be read for intent; a reply in a thread never is.


    ## Authentication

    All endpoints take a Bearer API key:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer mk_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    ```


    Keys carry one or more scopes — `send`, `read`, `draft` (writes drafts, but can neither send nor

    schedule one) and `manage` — and a mode: **live** (`mk_live_…`) or **test** (`mk_test_…`).


    ## Test mode

    A `mk_test_` key exercises the entire API — real validation, persisted resources, real

    `message.sent`/`*.received` events and webhooks — without sending real email or incurring cost. Build and

    test your whole integration on a test key, then flip one character to `mk_live_` to go live.

    `POST /v1/test/inbound` (test key only) lets you simulate inbound mail end-to-end.


    ## Idempotency

    Send endpoints accept an `Idempotency-Key` header; a repeated key replays the stored response instead of

    sending twice, with an `Idempotent-Replay: true` header.


    ## Pagination

    List endpoints are cursor-paginated: pass `limit` (1–100) and the `next_cursor` from the previous page.


    ## Errors

    Errors use a stable envelope: `{ "error": { "type", "code", "message", "param", "request_id" } }`. Every

    response carries an `X-Request-Id` header for support correlation.'

OAuth discovery: https://api.mails.ai/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server and https://api.mails.ai/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource. An access token''s OAuth scope maps onto these API scopes: `full_access` = `send` + `read` + `manage` (not `draft`: the draft routes take those three too), `send` = `send` + `read`, `read` = `read`. Scopes (`send`/`read`/`manage`/`draft`) are noted per operation via `x-required-scope`; when more than one scope opens an operation (the draft routes also take `draft`), `x-accepted-scopes` lists them all. `inbox` appears there too, on the triage routes (changing and trashing threads, labels, cancelling a scheduled send): only a signed-in dashboard session holds it (a workspace Member''s), never an API key or OAuth token, and `x-session-scopes` names it.'
