Well I can't other than agree with you. When I was doing research on this particular use case I was surprised that GMail APIs are open like this.

It was my priority to ensure that we are looking just for specific filter and I touch only emails from Uber and Lyft.

GMail API developers should definitely consider adding this kind of granularity to the system. I think it would allow to build much more sophisticated and trustworthy application.

Yep. I tried to write my comment in a way that wasn't calling you out at all -- but really google for allowing this kind of unfettered or controlled access. :-)

I've no doubt you would do great things and get much greater adoption in a better API-enabled inbox. :-)
