Preview how your format template will render with sample data
AI agents call preview_format 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 only renders a preview using sample data to show how a template looks. It has no side effects — it does not send messages, modify configurations, or write any data. It is purely a read/display operation.
