This server, released on October 17, 2026, notably includes zero "send" tools, meaning all drafted replies require human approval before being sent. A live gate test by ScriptMasterLabs indicated that while reading and labeling messages achieved a high auto-action score, drafting replies and sending messages were flagged for advisory holds or escalation, reinforcing Kondo's approach to prevent autonomous message sending.
