v2-6-3

SlackContextProvider has been simplified to a single, self-documenting configuration surface. The for_bot_read(), for_assistant_search(), and for_write() factory methods have been removed in favor of explicit flags on the provider, and SlackTools construction is now inlined so the underlying tool exposes its own capabilities directly. A new opt-in enable_workspace_search parameter is also available for agents that need to search across the workspace.

Action required: If you previously instantiated SlackContextProvider through one of the factory methods, replace those calls with direct construction using the relevant flags. Code that already constructs the provider directly is unaffected.

Why it matters: Factory methods made it harder to see what an agent could actually do with Slack at a glance, and forced runtime mode-switching when configurations needed to combine read, search, and write. Explicit flags make capability composition obvious in the agent definition, simplify reasoning about least-privilege access, and remove a layer of indirection that was easy to misconfigure.
