Unattended Agent Mailboxes: Why Aggressive Retention Policies Are Essential

Autonomous agent mailboxes often accumulate sensitive authentication data—OTP codes, password resets, signup confirmations—that organizations never intended to archive. Default retention policies frequently keep this data far longer than necessary, creating an unmonitored attack surface that security reviews inevitably discover months later. By implementing aggressive retention policies through simple API configuration, organizations can eliminate this invisible security risk without disrupting their CI pipelines or other automated workflows.
