Search Slack Messages
Search message history across a Slack workspace the caller owns. Requires a user token (xoxp-); bot-token connections return a clear note instead of results. Matches are filtered to the connection's allowed channels and come back with channel, author, text, timestamp, and permalink.
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.

- Scope
- Keyword search restricted to the connection's allowed channels.
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.
