Description

Server Details

  • Server: slack
  • Changes to: docs (readme)

Motivation and Context

the tool slack_get_user_profile makes calls to slack's users.profile.get endpoint, which requires users.profile:read scope (ref: https://api.slack.com/methods/users.profile.get)

However this scope is not documented in the setup instruction, and any calls to slack-get_user_profile tool will fail.

How Has This Been Tested?

  • instructed cursor AI to call slack_get_user_profile and ensured that the call fails
  • added the scope users.profile:read, tried the above again, and the call works.
