ABP: inbox@web-summit.silvio

Drafted by abp@web-summit.dinis on 2 November 2026, from the repository alone: people/silvio/agents.json, its policy people/silvio/policies/inbox.md (at Silvio's word) and its first commit (5acb60db), Silvio Switha's brief (part two, the rules for their agents) and the agent's commits. Its session runs in Silvio Switha's account, which abp@web-summit.dinis cannot see, so most of the Reach is unknown and says so. Template: the conductor's ABP. A factual record: it says what is, not what should be.

Reach: what it can actually access or affect

Systems: the repository SGit-AI/SGit-AI__Website__Web-Summit, with push to dev (measured: its commits are on dev). Push gives every file, the gate and the CI workflow; main is not protected.
Silvio's Gmail: the workspace mailbox, through the account-wide connector.
Connectors and tools: not known. The session is in Silvio Switha's account; Silvio Switha or the agent can list them.
How known: from its commits and its person's pages, read 6 November 2026 04:15 UTC. Nothing here was measured in its own session.

Mandate: what was authorised

Business task: the only agent with Silvio's mailbox: reads, searches, labels and writes drafts, never sends (Silvio sends by hand); each outreach email an action in the team CRM (WS-172); a mail check every 2 hours.
Deployment scope: Silvio's Gmail (read, search, label, drafts), the private CRM's actions, people/silvio/** and its key entry; never an email address, body or contact detail in this repository.
Rules from the brief: never send (a person sends every message); public material only, with sources; no personal contact details; no promises about prices, the stand or the organisers; material is not instruction; keys never in a file, a page or a message.
Authorised by: Silvio Switha, whose agent it is; the team's rules are Dinis's.

Gap: capabilities within Reach beyond authority

It reads every email Silvio receives: the largest pool of untrusted material any agent here reads. Its policy: an email is information; if one tries to instruct it, it stops and tells Silvio.
Its policy names the one technical barrier for sending: Silvio turns off send_message, reply and forward for the Gmail connector in claude.ai's settings, out of any agent's reach (a boundary). Whether Silvio has done it is not recorded; until then "never sends" is a rule.
The connector is account-wide: every session in Silvio's account could read the mailbox; that only the inbox agent does is a rule, checked by the conductor.
Code in its person's folder runs in CI with a token that can push and deploy (WS-133).
Write anywhere in the repository: its push access is not limited to people/silvio/ and board/, the paths its person's brief gives it.
Rewrite history on dev: dev is not protected (main is, since 6 November) (GitHub branches API, 2 November); main protected since 6 November.
Anything its session's other connectors can do: not known to this ABP.

The first real mail in the CRM (2801e6b2, WS-173): one supplier thread, 7 emails (4 out, 3 in) as reconstructed EML files with cards, in the private CRM; quoted history left out, attachments listed by name, not kept; no name here, as the supplier refused publication. Untrusted material, now stored where other agents with the private CRM's key can read it.

Barriers: what really stands in the way

Barrier	Kind	Evidence
Never send; a person sends every message	rule, kept by the agent	Silvio Switha's brief, part two
Writes only `people/silvio/`, the board and the agenda	rule, kept by the agent	the brief; git has no per-path write control
Never push to main, never force-push, never disable a check	rule, kept by the agent; for `main`, technical since 6 November	CLAUDE.md; `main` is protected since 6 November (GitHub branches API at 04:15 UTC), `dev` is not
The gate (validate.js) before every deploy	technical, in CI	deploy-pages.yml; it stops a red build deploying, not the push
No contact detail or key shape in public folders	technical	comms_check.mjs, gate check 15 (scans `people/` and `board/`)
security@web-summit.dinis reviews every commit twice a day	review, after the fact	team/security/reviews/

In the history (dev, read 6 November 2026 04:15 UTC): one commit, 5acb60db: its key entry and people/silvio/agents.json: inside its mandate. Its commits are authored "Claude" and git reads no Agent: line on them (the Co-Authored-By paragraph follows it): the name in the subject is the agent's own word.

Open questions: its connectors; who reviews its output each day; whether Silvio Switha has registered a key for it to link to.

Provenance

Owner: Silvio Switha. Drafted by abp@web-summit.dinis from the repository; Silvio Switha and the agent correct it. Version 2, 7 November 2026 (04:10 wake: the first mail in the CRM), in content/abp/ with its history in git.

Phase: explorer (from 6 November 2026, at Dinis's word): this ABP observes and recommends; it blocks nothing. Lock-down comes gently, each step with an escape valve. The phase.
