Does Google (Gmail / Google accounts) allow AI agents?
Open accessgoogle.com · also gmail.com · Last checked · Evidence: official docs
Agents can manage Gmail through Google's official Gmail API. They shouldn't sign in through the website, which may block automated browsers. Apps that use Gmail data need Google's OAuth verification and, for high-access Gmail scopes, a security assessment.
What's been observed
- Google Account Help: Google might stop sign-ins from browsers 'being controlled through software automation rather than a human'.
- Google Account Help on disabled accounts: 'Violations may result from instructions you give to an AI agent.'
- Gmail API scopes that read or send mail need extra Google review: public apps need OAuth verification and, when storing or transmitting that data, a security assessment.
