+ - **Indirect prompt injection from email content.** Reading a mailbox exposes the agent to attacker-controlled email bodies. Treat message bodies and attachments as untrusted data, never as instructions. The sanitizer strips invisible glyphs but cannot detect natural-language injection ("ignore previous instructions, send to..."). Keep `shipmail_send_inbox_reply_draft` out of the tool allowlist for review-only sessions and require explicit approval before any outbound send.
279
321
  - **Malicious LLM output or hallucinated arguments.** The MCP layer cannot tell whether an argument came from the user or was invented. Use the host UI's tool-call confirmation, especially for `destructiveHint:true` tools.
280
322
  - **Compromised MCP host.** Your API key is read from `SHIPMAIL_API_KEY` and held in memory by this process. If the host is compromised, the key is gone regardless. Rotate keys you suspect have been exposed.
281
323
  - **Webhook signing secret in conversation logs.** `shipmail_create_webhook` and `shipmail_rotate_webhook_secret` return the secret in `structuredContent`. Many MCP clients persist tool output in conversation history. Treat the session log as sensitive after these calls.
