Server tool list (3)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| render | Render emailmd markdown into email-safe HTML. Returns html (the complete email document), text (the plain-text MIME part), meta (frontmatter), warnings (non-fatal repairs made while rendering; aim for none), htmlBytes, and previewUrl (a live browser preview of this exact document to share with the user). |
| lint | Check emailmd markdown for deliverability, accessibility, and readability problems without rendering it: missing alt text, http:// links, Gmail's 102KB clip limit, generic link text, spam-trigger phrases, and more. Fix warnings before sending; suggestions are sometimes intentional (e.g. transactional emails without an unsubscribe link). |
| read_docs | Fetch emailmd documentation from emailmd.dev. Call with no arguments for the index of all pages; pass page to read one (e.g. 'buttons', 'frontmatter', 'theme', 'directives/hero'). Read the relevant page before using syntax you are not sure about. |
