gmail-cli is a personal command-line tool run by David Wei (shukebeta). It is not a public service: only Google accounts owned or operated by David Wei authorize it, including mailboxes used by his own AI assistant.
What it accesses. With your consent through Google OAuth, gmail-cli reads, labels, sends and filters mail and manages Gmail settings (filters, send-as addresses) in the authorized account. It requests only the scopes shown on the consent screen.
Where data goes. Mail content and OAuth tokens stay on the operator's own machines. Nothing is sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising. Data is used only to carry out the actions the account owner asks for.
Limited Use. gmail-cli's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Retention and deletion. Mail is kept only as long as a task needs it. Revoke access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions; the operator then deletes the stored token.

Non-native English speakers — especially those whose native language stacks modals freely — sometimes write things like:
"One thing we might could improve..."
This is a double modal. It exists in some regional American dialects (Southern US) but is grammatically incorrect in standard and professional English. Pick one modal: might or could.
The right choice depends on intent:
- "One thing we could improve" — confident suggestion, implies you see a concrete area to fix. This is usually what you mean.
- "One thing we might improve" — tentative, sounds like you're unsure whether improvement will happen at all. Weaker than you probably intend.
- "One thing we might want to improve" — works, but adds unnecessary words. "Could" is cleaner.
The other trap in the same sentence: "the pipeline I re-run" vs "the pipeline I reran". "Re-run" is the present tense or a noun; if the action already happened, it's reran (past tense).
The corrected sentence:
"One thing we could improve: even though the deployment failed, the pipeline I reran still reported 'All Good'."
