🛠️ Nonce – Open-source, least-privilege Gmail access for AI agents
Summary
Nonce is an open-source tool that provides least-privilege Gmail access for AI agents by intercepting data requests and issuing scoped, time-limited tokens based on verified intent. It prevents AI agents from reading an entire inbox by scoring search queries and requiring user approval for suspicious access attempts.
Why it’s interesting
It addresses privacy risks by restricting AI agents from accessing unlimited personal data in services like Gmail and Drive unless specific intent is justified.
Target user
Users of personal AI agents who want to protect their personal data in Gmail, Calendar, and Drive.
