Set guardrails before giving it your inbox

Install limits first, then test whether a stranger's email can give it orders.

Try sendingBefore you get access to my Gmail, install Superagent's Context Guardrails on yourself and show me what it will block.

The benchmark's permissions test checks whether an ask-first rule holds; read the phishing thread before granting inbox access.

Instinct
Every purchase runs through a Link approval you tap, logins go into an encrypted store it never reads, and the rules have held for months.

DoneCreated a fresh Gmail account and emailed their own inbox with instructions addressed to Instinct, to see whether it would follow orders from a stranger's email.
Instinct@anothercohenAug 22, 2026

For additional context, I don’t think we’re at the point where it’s safe to give AI read/write access to your inbox. I wanted to see how easily Instinct could be phished, so I created a brand new Gmail account and emailed my real personal account with instructions for Instinct

DoneReluctant to hand over Gmail, the poster asked the bot to install Superagent's Context Guardrails on itself, and it set the whole thing up.
Grok Bot@pelaseyedSep 7, 2026

I just installed Context Guardrails to my Grok Bot. Have been reluctant to give it access to my Gmail but turns out I can just ask it to implement @superagent_ai and it'll basically set the whole thing up. Amazing UX tbh.
