List all available Slack channels for the configured workspace
AI agents call list_channels to retrieve information from Cursor EOD MCP (Slack) without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries and returns a list of Slack channels without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval function, making it a Read category tool with low severity—misuse would expose available channels but cause no direct harm to data or systems.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_channels' and description 'List all available Slack channels' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.

Register the Cursor EOD MCP (Slack) MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_channels: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Cursor EOD MCP (Slack). Nothing to install.
list_channels is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_channels rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_channels. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
list_channels is provided by the Cursor EOD MCP (Slack) MCP server (sackeydavid/cursor-eod-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
list_channels is one line of Cursor EOD MCP (Slack)'s registry record.
