Slack gives AI agents full access to your Slack workspace — reading channels, sending messages, searching conversations, reacting with emoji, and sharing files. It acts as you, so everything comes from your account, not a bot.
This is the tool for agents that need to stay in the loop on team conversations, post updates, summarize channel activity, or route information between Slack and other tools in a workflow.
What you can do
- List public and private channels in your workspace
- Read channel history and thread replies
- Send messages to channels, reply in threads, or DM teammates
- Edit and delete your own messages
- Search with full Slack syntax — by channel, user, date range, and keyword
- React to messages with any emoji
- Upload files to channels and list earlier uploads
- Find any user by email to open a direct message
Who it's for
Teams who want AI agents embedded in their Slack workflows — summarizing standup channels, posting digests, routing alerts, or searching conversation history for context. Anyone who wants to automate the back-and-forth without leaving their existing chat setup.
How to use it
- Use list_channels to find the right channel, or find_user by email to target a DM
- Use read_messages to pull recent history from a channel or thread
- Use send_message to post to a channel or user — pass a thread_ts to reply in-thread
- Use search with Slack query syntax to find specific conversations across the workspace
Getting started
Connect your Slack workspace to get started — the tool acts as your user account, so it can only see channels you have access to.
