Requires webhook.manage and matching key agent/environment. Account endpoints require a member key. Receiver verification, source activation and delivery success are distinct. Never put signing secrets into prompts/logs; deliver them to secure configuration only after explicit setup/rotation intent. Rules match saved OCR literally and grant no mail/handling authority. See https://mailbox.bot/docs/webhooks. Existing update_webhook remains a separate legacy callback. Duties: get_mailbox_md returns the agent's MAILBOX.md; saved duties are not permissions. No owner-decision, staff-completion, paid-OCR or Vault tool. See https://mailbox.bot/api-docs#physical-inbound and the single inbound chapter in llms-full.txt. MCP server lets AI agents send live outbound letters, certified mail, postcards, notices, and documents with dry runs, approval gates, cost caps, tracking, proof, cancellation before printing, and webhooks. Use list_inbound_forwarding_addresses for the live member-scoped digital intake alias and list_inbound_mail/get_inbound_mail for forwarded OCR context from an address the operator already controls; pass inbound_capture_id or postal_mail_thread_id into send_outbound_mail to preserve reply lineage. Get a mailing address # for an agent: a real street address + PMB at the staffed, USPS-compliant Manhattan Beach, CA facility, $15/mo. The PMB number is assigned after USPS Form 1583 verification. Mail at an assigned PMB, and the Sandbox sample, uses the inbound tools above; staff complete physical work after the owner approves. Use get_usage to read prepaid balance; agents cannot buy credits, access Stripe, view card data, or change Auto-Fill settings. Eligible live orders may trigger bounded server-managed Auto-Fill only after the human separately enables it. Use dry_run=true for previews, requires_approval=true for sensitive mail, cancel_outbound_mail for eligible queued cancellations before printing, update_webhook for callbacks, and outbound sandbox lifecycle tools to rehearse submitted -> ready -> mailed -> delivered without credit debits or physical fulfillment. Explicit Business mail runs remain REST-only. Batch & Postcards (10 to 10,000 pieces from one template and one recipient list): estimate_batch_mail prices it; create_batch_mail takes template_url (a PDF, or a PNG/JPG postcard graphic) and recipients inline or as recipients_url, charges nothing and returns the exact price; get_batch_mail_proof returns a one-hour link to the template plus a sample address label for the person to check; confirm_batch_mail then debits prepaid credits once; get_batch_mail, list_batch_mail and cancel_batch_mail follow it; advance_test_batch_mail walks a sandbox batch to completed. Always show the proof and the price before confirming. Reference: https://mailbox.bot/api-docs/batch-and-postcards."}
