Gmail ACTION

Get Current User

Returns the authenticated Gmail user's name, email address, and mailbox stats (total messages and threads). Call this first when the user says 'my emails', 'my inbox', or needs identity context. Use the returned emailAddress to identify the user's own messages in Find Emails results. See the documentation.
