   @rbowen @potiuk context on why I opened this
   
   I'm using ponymail-mcp from Claude inside the airflow-steward / Magpie 
skills (mailing list triage, governance analysis, finding historical threads). 
The skills want to enumerate everything on a list, not just browse the top of it
   
   ran a test asking Claude (Opus 4.7) to list every thread on 
[email protected]. 93 emails, 46 threads. it got back 30 and then 
tried to work around the cap with narrow from/subject filters. missed 15+ 
threads that didn't match the guesses, and worse, had no way to know the result 
was incomplete
   
   the 30 default is fine for a human skimming. for an agent walking a list 
it's a wall with no escape hatch. patch keeps the default at 30 so nothing 
changes for existing callers, just lets you ask for more when you actually need 
it
   
   happy to follow up with the same treatment for participants / get_mbox if 
this lands, kept the scope tight on purpose
