    "subjectPrompt": "Create a catchy subject line for a marketing email about our new AI-powered analytics platform",
    "text": "Hello! This is the plain text version of our email.",

Important Note About Email Tool: When you use the send-email tool, Claude will display a confirmation message that the email was sent successfully. This confirmation message is NOT the content of the email - it's just feedback to you that the operation succeeded. The actual email sent to the recipient will contain only the content you specified in the text and html fields, with the subject generated by Gemini based on your prompt.
