SLACK · MESSAGING

Channels, messages, and files — with the person’s identity on the post.

Acts as the person, not as itself

Each user connects their own account. Every call carries both identities — the agent and the person it is acting for — so the agent can never reach past what that individual can already do.

Credentials never touch the agent

Tokens live in the vault and attach server-side at call time. The agent holds a session, not a secret, and revoking access does not mean rotating a key.

Every call on the record

Who asked, which agent acted, which action ran, and the verdict that let it through — one audit trail across every integration, not one per vendor.

What an agent can do

Each action is granted on its own. An agent allowed to read is not thereby allowed to write, and the scope beside each row is what the acting user must have connected for it to run at all.

slack_get_connection_infoREAD

Get Slack connection information including workspace name, bot user ID, and connection status.

no provider scope
slack_get_dm_messagesREAD

Get recent messages from a direct message (DM) conversation the bot is part of. Requires BOT scopes (im:history, im:read). Only DMs involving the bot are visible — not the user's DMs with other people.

im:historyim:read
slack_get_group_messagesREAD

Get recent messages from a private channel the bot has been added to. Requires BOT scopes (groups:history, groups:read). The bot must be invited to the channel first.

groups:historygroups:read
slack_get_messagesREAD

Get recent messages from a public Slack channel the bot can access. Uses BOT scopes (channels:read, channels:history); the bot auto-joins public channels on demand. Cannot read private channels or DMs the bot has not been added to — use slack_get_group_messages or slack_get_dm_messages for those.

channels:readchannels:history
slack_get_userREAD

Get information about a Slack user by their user ID.

users:read
slack_list_channelsREAD

List public Slack channels in the workspace. Uses BOT scopes (channels:read). Returns channel IDs, names, and metadata.

channels:read
slack_list_dm_channelsREAD

List direct message (DM) channels the bot participates in. Requires BOT scope (im:read).

im:read
slack_list_groupsREAD

List private channels the bot has been added to. Requires BOT scope (groups:read).

groups:read
slack_list_usersREAD

List users in the Slack workspace.

users:read
slack_send_messageWRITE

Send a message to a Slack channel or DM. By default sends as bot; set as_user=true to send as the authenticated user (requires user scopes). Returns the timestamp of the sent message.

chat:write

Put Slack behind one governed endpoint.

Same permissions, same audit trail, whatever else you connect next.
