Citation: PR #1866 removes channels:manage and search:read scopes from the marketplace Slack app (see changes in IntegrationsList.tsx and onboarding/slack/page.tsx). The previous Info box mentioned "broader permissions for future features like searching across Slack threads" which is no longer accurate.
View source

Promptless requests broader permissions than it currently uses to support potential future features like searching across Slack threads for relevant context. Currently, Promptless only accesses threads when you explicitly tag @Promptless or use the "Update Docs" message action. Promptless does not actively monitor or read any channels.
By default, Promptless only accesses Slack content when you explicitly trigger it by tagging @Promptless or using the "Update Docs" message action. If you enable passive listening, Promptless monitors only the specific channels you select.
