- Email plugin must be installed, enabled, and configured with a valid mailer

## Authentication

All email endpoints require the `api.system.write` permission.

## Available Operations

| Method | Endpoint | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| POST | `/email/send` | Send an ad-hoc email |
| POST | `/email/test` | Send a test email to verify configuration |
