> Skill `email-verification` on Faro. 0 sub-skills.

Checks whether an email address is deliverable, scoring it from 0 to 100 and flagging disposable, catch-all, role-based, and typo addresses. Returns the deliverability status without sending any mail.

**Category:** Business & Companies  
**Tags:** email, validation, deliverability, verification, data-quality  
**Use when:** You need to confirm a single address is deliverable before sending to it, accepting it at signup, or trusting it.  
**Not for:** Sending or delivering mail, bulk-list batch verification, finding or discovering addresses, user login, spam-content scanning, or replacing a real confirmation email.  
**Returns:** information — Returns the deliverability status, a 0 to 100 score, the domain, risk flags, and a suggested correction when the address looks like a typo. Not a downloadable file, and it does not send any mail.

## How to run
Skills run through one gateway with your Faro token. Hand it an `intent` in plain language; Faro routes to the right sub-skill, runs it, and bills per call. Raw tools are internal plumbing and are not directly callable.
