Things to check
- Not an officially supported Google product
- Under active development with breaking changes expected before v1.0
- Needs a Google Cloud project and OAuth set-up, which can be fiddly
- Unverified OAuth apps are limited to around 25 scopes
- Giving AI agents access to email and files carries privacy and safety risks
