In a workflow

As a step in a multi-step workflow DAG:

{
  "id": "s1",
  "agent": "email",
  "action": "DOWNLOAD_ATTACHMENT",
  "args": {
    "email_id": "name@example.com"
  },
  "depends_on": [],

For scripting, call it directly via POST /execute_tool. Every tool returns { success, message, data }.

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool_name":"DOWNLOAD_ATTACHMENT","args":{"email_id":"name@example.com"}}'
