Extract verification codes from email
The agent retrieves specific verification codes sent via email, enabling automated sign-in or two-factor authentication processes without manual intervention.
How it works
The agent monitors the inbox for incoming messages, specifically looking for verification codes. It uses the list_messages tool to find recent emails and get_message to read their content. The agent then extracts the code from the email body. This is often used in conjunction with creating a temporary inbox for one-time use cases. The agent should check for the presence of the code before proceeding with any authentication steps.
