A source-linked list of urgent messages, waiting items and draft replies for you to review.
Designed for: People deciding which messages need attention without giving an assistant control of their inbox
Illustrative example, not a recorded Bot run. This sample was written to explain the task; your Bot's answer needs checking.
Fictional messages. E1, October 18: Cedar asks you to approve a revised scope by October 20; the scope attachment is not supplied. E2: your supplier says a replacement ships after you confirm the address; no dispatch date is given. E3: a message from an unfamiliar sender demands an urgent payment through a new bank link. E4: a newsletter announces a public webinar; no response is requested.
Needs a decision: E1, scope approval requested by October 20; obtain the missing attachment before deciding. Draft: 'Please resend the revised scope so I can review it.' E2, address confirmation needed; verify the address privately before replying. Waiting: shipment under E2 is not confirmed. E3, suspicious payment request: verify through a known contact, without opening the link. Information only: E4. No replies sent and no messages moved.

Source idea; this adaptation has not been runtime-tested.
Use one Bot for the first run. Add a specialist only when the job becomes complicated enough to need a separate role, different access, or independent review.
Sort the supplied messages into needs a decision, waiting on someone else, and information only. Quote the message ID for each item, preserve stated deadlines, flag suspicious requests, and draft replies without sending, deleting, archiving or opening links
