**Message Subject:**

Trialing <mark style="background-color:yellow;">**\<your company name>’**</mark>s potential new information security provider, Material Security— what it means for you

**Message Body:**

Hi team,

As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen our security posture, we'll be kicking off an evaluation of a platform called [Material Security](http://material.security/) next week.

Material Security is designed to help protect against phishing attacks, account takeovers, and other email-based threats by analyzing data and security signals in our email environment. This evaluation will involve syncing email and <mark style="background-color:yellow;">{Google Drive/Microsoft 365}</mark> data, but there will be no impact to your inbox, email performance, or daily workflows so you won’t need to take any action.

We’re sharing this for transparency and to let you know that this evaluation is being conducted with security and privacy best practices in mind. Should the evaluation move forward to a broader deployment, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

\
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.material.security/getting-started/deployment-guides/communication-templates/trials-poc.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
