SaferSkills independently audited slack (Agent Skill) and scored it 45/100 (orange). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 3 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A base64 string of 128+ characters appears in a documentation file. Encoded prompt injection hides the hostile instruction in base64 — invisible to keyword filters — and relies on the agent's ability to decode it at runtime. There is no normal authoring reason to embed a multi-hundred-byte base64 blob in skill docs.

Interact with Slack using the built-in MCP tools provided by the nomos-slack server. These tools call the Slack Web API directly — no curl commands or shell environment variables needed.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
slack_send_message | Send a message to a channel or thread |
slack_edit_message | Edit an existing message |
slack_delete_message | Delete a message |
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
slack_read_channel | Read recent messages from a channel |
slack_read_thread | Read replies in a thread |
slack_search | Search messages by keyword (supports in:#channel, from:@user syntax) |
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
slack_react | Add a reaction emoji to a message |
slack_pin_message | Pin a message |
slack_unpin_message | Unpin a message |
slack_list_pins | List pinned items in a channel |
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
slack_list_channels | List channels the bot can see |
slack_user_info | Get details about a user (name, email, status, timezone) |
slack_upload_file | Upload a local file to a channel |
Use slack_send_message with the channel ID and text. For threaded replies, include thread_ts.
Use slack_read_channel with the channel ID. Returns messages in chronological order with timestamps, user IDs, and reaction counts.
Use slack_send_message with thread_ts set to the parent message timestamp.
Use slack_search with Slack search syntax:
release notes — search all channelsin:#engineering release notes — search a specific channelfrom:@alice bug report — search messages from a userUse slack_list_channels to get channel IDs and names. Use the ID in subsequent tool calls.
Use slack_user_info with a user ID (e.g. from a message) to get their name, email, status, and timezone.
Nomos can listen to Slack as the user personally — not as a bot. It responds to DMs and @mentions using the user's own token, so messages appear as if the user typed them.
When a user asks you to "listen to my Slack", "respond as me", or "act as me on Slack", take action directly:
nomos slack workspacesnomos slack auth --token xoxp-...nomos slack listenAlways execute these commands yourself using Bash rather than telling the user to run them. If a command is blocked by permission hooks, show the user the exact command so they can run it. Confirm what you did after.
Nomos can also autonomously monitor Slack channels in the background using the daemon and autonomous loops. When a user asks you to "watch my channels" or "monitor messages in the background", take action directly:
nomos daemon statusnomos daemon startnomos cron listslack-digest loop (runs every 30 min, scans channels for messages needing attention): nomos cron enable slack-digestnomos cron create <name> "<schedule>" --prompt "<instructions>"Always execute these commands yourself using Bash rather than telling the user to run them. If a command is blocked by permission hooks, show the user the exact command so they can run it. Confirm what you did after.
The daemon connects to Slack via Socket Mode and listens in real-time. Autonomous loops add proactive periodic checks on top of that. Together, they ensure no important message goes unnoticed.
