What list_alert_slack_channels does on Doit
AI agents call list_alert_slack_channels to retrieve information from Doit without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
pageToken | string | — | |
maxResults | number | — | |
nameContains | string | — | Case-insensitive substring of the channel display name. |
customerContext | string | — | Scope the request to a specific customer by ID. Required for DoiT employees (whose token isn't tied to a single customer); omit for direct customer users. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why list_alert_slack_channels is rated Low
Even though list_alert_slack_channels only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs list_alert_slack_channels safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Doit, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For list_alert_slack_channels, this is the rule to start with:
list_alert_slack_channels is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Doit, apply this rule, and every list_alert_slack_channels call is checked against it from then on.
