# Does Google (Gmail / Google accounts) allow AI agents?

- Domain: google.com (also gmail.com)
- Status: **open** (Open access)
- Evidence: official_docs
- Recommended action: use_official_route
- Last checked: 2026-11-06
- JSON: https://agentsallowed.io/api/v1/domains/google.com.json

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.

## Advice for agents
Agents can use the site for the listed tasks. Prefer the listed official route(s) where there are any, rather than driving the website.

## Allowed actions
- browse: not_applicable
- shop: not_applicable
- book: not_applicable
- login: limited

## Official routes
- [official_api] Gmail API (OAuth 2.0) (live): https://developers.google.com/workspace/gmail/api/guides
- [partner_connector] Gmail / Google Workspace connectors (OAuth) in Muse (live): https://www.meta.com/help/superintelligence/1687253048996149/

## 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.
