List Slack Channels
List the channels a Slack connection the caller owns is permitted to read. Returns each channel's id, name, privacy, and membership so a later read or search can name a channel. Channels outside the connection's allowed list are never returned.
Access
This tool reads a data source you connect. Cortexa hosts no dataset behind it and nothing here is publicly queryable — there is no result to show a visitor, only the shape of the call. Add a connection in Settings → Connections, and the agent can use it in your own sessions.
- Works with
- Slack
- Scope
- Channel metadata within the connection's allowed-channel list.
Access is read-only and re-authorized on every call against the connection's owner, your active workspace, and any explicit grants. Credentials stay encrypted at rest and are never returned by a tool.
Schema
