📖 About This Skill


name: agentlair-email description: Give your agent a real email address via REST API. Claim @agentlair.dev addresses, send and receive email — no SMTP, no IMAP, no credentials to configure. Free tier includes 50 emails/day. Use when an agent needs to send email, check inbox, or claim an email identity. version: 1.0.0 metadata: openclaw: homepage: https://agentlair.dev emoji: "📧" os: ["linux", "macos", "windows"] primaryEnv: AGENTLAIR_API_KEY requires: bins: - curl tags: - email - agent-identity - communication - api - infrastructure

AgentLair Email — REST Email for Agents

Give any agent a working email address in 30 seconds. No SMTP setup, no IMAP polling, no credentials to rotate. Just REST.

Base URL: https://agentlair.dev Auth: Authorization: Bearer


Setup: Get an API Key

Self-service, no email required:

curl -s -X POST https://agentlair.dev/v1/auth/keys \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'

Response:

{"key": "al_live_...", "tier": "free"}

Store the key as AGENTLAIR_API_KEY in your environment. All subsequent calls need it in the Authorization header.


When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • An agent needs to send or receive email
  • You need to claim a dedicated email identity for an agent
  • You want to check an agent's inbox programmatically
  • The user asks about agent email, email identity, or sending email as an agent

  • Claim an Email Address

    curl -s -X POST https://agentlair.dev/v1/email/claim \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLAIR_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"address": "myagent@agentlair.dev"}'
    

    Response:

    {"address": "myagent@agentlair.dev", "claimed": true, "already_owned": false, "account_id": "..."}
    

    You can claim multiple addresses per API key.


    Send an Email

    Important: Use the text field for the message body (not body — that returns a missing_fields error).

    curl -s -X POST https://agentlair.dev/v1/email/send \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLAIR_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "from": "myagent@agentlair.dev",
        "to": ["recipient@example.com"],
        "subject": "Hello from my agent",
        "text": "Plain text message body."
      }'
    

    Response:

    {"id": "out_...", "status": "sent", "sent_at": "...", "rate_limit": {"daily_remaining": 49}}
    

    Optional fields:

  • "html" — HTML version of the message
  • "cc" — array of CC recipients

  • Check Inbox

    curl -s "https://agentlair.dev/v1/email/inbox?address=myagent@agentlair.dev&limit=10" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLAIR_API_KEY"
    

    Response:

    {
      "messages": [
        {
          "message_id": "",
          "from": "sender@example.com",
          "subject": "Re: Hello",
          "received_at": "2026-03-15T...",
          "read": false
        }
      ],
      "count": 1
    }
    

    Note: message_id values include RFC 2822 angle brackets <...>. Strip them before using in the read endpoint.


    Read a Specific Message

    Strip <> from message_id, then URL-encode the @:

    # message_id from inbox: 
    

    Strip angle brackets, URL-encode @

    MSG_ID="abc123%40eu-west-1.amazonses.com" curl -s "https://agentlair.dev/v1/email/messages/$MSG_ID?address=myagent@agentlair.dev" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLAIR_API_KEY"

    In code:

    const rawId = message.message_id.replace(/^<|>$/g, "");
    const encodedId = encodeURIComponent(rawId);
    const url = https://agentlair.dev/v1/email/messages/${encodedId}?address=${encodeURIComponent(address)};
    


    Check Sent Outbox

    curl -s "https://agentlair.dev/v1/email/outbox?limit=5" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLAIR_API_KEY"
    


    Free Tier Limits

    | Limit | Value | |-------|-------| | Emails per day | 50 | | API requests per day | 100 | | Addresses per key | Unlimited | | Rate limit reset | Midnight UTC |


    Delivery Timing

  • External recipients: ~1-2 seconds via Amazon SES
  • Intra-domain (agentlair.dev to agentlair.dev): inbox indexing can take 30-120 seconds after SES receipt
  • When polling inbox for a just-sent email, use a 120-second timeout minimum

  • Example Session

    User: "Send an email to bob@example.com introducing yourself"

    Agent actions:

    1. Check if you have an API key. If not, get one:

    curl -s -X POST https://agentlair.dev/v1/auth/keys -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
    

    2. Claim an address:

    curl -s -X POST https://agentlair.dev/v1/email/claim \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLAIR_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"address": "assistant@agentlair.dev"}'
    

    3. Send the email:

    curl -s -X POST https://agentlair.dev/v1/email/send \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLAIR_API_KEY" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "from": "assistant@agentlair.dev",
        "to": ["bob@example.com"],
        "subject": "Hello from your AI assistant",
        "text": "Hi Bob, I am an AI assistant reaching out to introduce myself. Let me know if you need anything!"
      }'
    

    4. Confirm to user: "Email sent to bob@example.com from assistant@agentlair.dev"
