Watch out for

Gmail API quotas can be exceeded quickly, so implement a delay between processing batches.
The AI might misclassify urgent personal emails as spam, so add a confidence threshold check before applying labels.
Email bodies may contain sensitive data like passwords, so ensure you strip or redact such content before sending it to the model.
Label names in Gmail are case-sensitive and unique per account, so verify your label IDs exist before attempting to apply them.
