slack_list_channels

Slack · macOS · Windows

Effect: read (strongest supported action). Status: gated.

Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.

macOS

Purpose

Lists channels in a Slack workspace, including public channels, private channels, and direct messages (DMs). Reads from the local IndexedDB cache — only channels that Slack Desktop has synced to disk are returned. Pass workspace_id from slack_list_workspaces to filter to a specific workspace.

Required inputs

No required inputs are declared in this platform's schema. Optional selectors and runtime requirements may still apply.

Permissions and confirmation

No explicit confirmation parameter is exposed in this snapshot. This does not grant permission to act: obtain user authorization before any real action.
