Google Account Suspension and Restoration for AI Agent Use

A developer on r/openclaw reported that Google suspended a newly created Gmail account intended for use by an AI agent. The suspension occurred just 20 minutes after account creation.

Restoration Process Details

The developer immediately filed a protest and restoration request with Google, providing specific details about the account's purpose:

• The account was created specifically for a personal AI agent
• The agent needed to access Google services without exposing the developer's main account to potential data exfiltration or prompt injection risks
• The virtual machine running the agent was properly hardened and secured
• The agent would primarily use Calendar, Tasks, and receive email
• Outgoing email would be managed through agentmail.to

Google responded with a restoration approval message stating: "Thank you for contacting us about your disabled Google Account. After review, your request for restored access was approved. To restore your account, you need to sign in and verify it as soon as possible. Disabled accounts are eventually deleted. Sign in soon to make sure you save any emails, contacts, photos, and other data saved in this account."

Outcome

Google restored account access within less than 12 hours of the restoration request. The developer noted that the account is now live and functional for its intended purpose.
