Seed-list test
A controlled test send to monitored inboxes.
A seed-list test sends a campaign or template to addresses controlled by a testing provider. The provider reports whether the message landed in inbox, spam, promotions, or another folder. It is useful for diagnostics but should be paired with real engagement and complaint data.

An agent stack treats email as a two-way primitive. Inbound has to arrive as structured JSON a tool call can consume, sends have to be safe to retry when a model loop repeats itself, and every action needs an audit trail. A provider without inbound parsing only solves half the problem.
Applied to seed-list test, that means weighing inbound parsing, idempotency keys, webhook coverage, and operating track record ahead of the rest, against inbound parsing into tool calls and model-generated sends that must not duplicate.
