A mail address of its own
Invoices, reports and exports arrive by email anyway. The agent on your machine has an address of its own: forward it a message, say what to do, and it does the work and writes back. It checks for mail once a minute.
How to start

To let a colleague give it tasks too, add their address on a line of its own to
~/agent/allowlist.txton the machine.
Mail from other addresses still arrives, and the agent can work with it, but never follows instructions in it.
