For a 5MB local PDF, an unguided agent reaches for base64 (roughly 2M+ tokens, over the 32KiB inline cap by ~150x); the skill correctly routes to a local file_path upload instead, near-zero token cost.

What Sendmux Attachments does
Reference skill for Sendmux MCP/CLI/SDK attachment workflows: tells the agent when to use a local file_path, a presigned upload URL, CLI --attach, SDK file helpers, or inline base64 for uploading, downloading, or forwarding email attachments. Documents exact size caps (7.5MB mailbox, 18MiB send upload, 32KiB inline base64) and token-cost math so an agent doesn't accidentally pipe megabytes of base64 through the context window. Use whenever an agent is about to touch attachment bytes through Sendmux, in MCP, CLI, SDK, or direct HTTP form.
