title: "Slackbot Toolkit: Bot-Compatible Actions Only"
description: "Slackbot toolkit now includes only actions that work with bot tokens"
date: "2026-02-20"
---

The Slackbot toolkit inherits actions from the Slack toolkit. Previously, it included all 155 actions — but many of these were admin-only endpoints (`admin.*`) that require user tokens and don't work with bot tokens.

We've filtered the action list down to **89 bot-compatible actions** — only actions whose Slack API endpoints are callable with a bot token.

### What Changed

| Category | Count |
|----------|-------|
| Bot-compatible actions (included) | 89 |
| Admin/non-bot actions (removed) | 62 |
| Triggers (unchanged) | 9 |

### Why This Matters

- **Actions that work**: Every action in the Slackbot toolkit now works with standard bot tokens
- **Clearer scope**: No more confusion about which actions require elevated permissions
- **All triggers kept**: Event-based triggers work with bot tokens and remain available

### Removed Actions

The following action categories were removed because they require user tokens or admin permissions:

- `admin.*` endpoints (workspace administration)
- `audit.*` endpoints (audit logs)
- SCIM endpoints (user provisioning)

If you need admin-level Slack functionality, use the full Slack toolkit with appropriate user token authentication.
