Updates the "Understanding Slack Permissions" info box in the Slack integration guide to reflect that Promptless no longer requests broader permissions than it needs.

Change: Removed the statement that "Promptless requests broader permissions than it currently uses to support potential future features like searching across Slack threads" because PR #1866 removes the channels:manage and search:read scopes from the marketplace Slack app. The info box now accurately explains that Promptless only accesses Slack content when explicitly triggered.

Agent Response

I've completed the documentation update for PR #1866.

Summary

PR #1866 removes channels:manage and search:read permissions from the marketplace Slack app—these permissions are now only requested for Promptless's internal installation, not for customers.

I found that the Slack integration documentation had an Info box that stated:

"Promptless requests broader permissions than it currently uses to support potential future features like searching across Slack threads for relevant context."

This statement is now inaccurate since the marketplace app no longer requests those "broader permissions."

Documentation Change

File: fern/docs/integrations/slack.mdx

Updated the "Understanding Slack Permissions" Info box from explaining "broader permissions for future features" to simply describing how Promptless accesses Slack content:

"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."

This update ensures users aren't surprised by the permissions they see during installation (since there are now fewer permissions requested) and accurately describes Promptless's privacy-conscious approach to Slack data access.

The previous Info box mentioned "broader permissions for future features like searching across Slack threads" which is no longer accurate.
