Email reply idempotency, billing, and safety

Outbound reputation limits allow at most 20 replies per inbox during a rolling hour and 5 replies to the same normalized recipient during a rolling 24-hour window. These transactional limits run before credit debit or provider reservation; reaching either returns resource_conflict. The owner’s credit balance remains a separate billing gate.

An equivalent retry with the same inbound-email ID and same normalized body recovers the existing message and provider idempotency key. It does not send a second copy, consume another quota slot, or charge again. A permanently failed provider send terminalizes that reply and refunds its recorded credit charge once. Retrying the same content then returns resource_conflict; revise the content or use another channel rather than treating the retry as a new message.

permission_denied with top-up details means the owner’s credit cannot cover the reply. resource_conflict also covers a paused inbox or a terminally undeliverable reply; ask the owner to resume the inbox where applicable. resource_not_found means the row is not a dispatched email owned by this Agent and conversation. Honor invalid_arguments and other typed details exactly as returned; current typed error details are more authoritative than prose.

Reply body is a redacted sensitive argument, and neither knowledge nor routing telemetry may retain the text. The action is forbidden on public surfaces. Its action-level confirmation is whatever the live registry declares; knowledge grants no permission and bypasses no policy. The platform adds reply threading plus an Auto-Submitted loop-protection header so automated peers should not reply forever.
