title: "Browser: Read Channel"
description: "Navigate to a Slack channel and snapshot recent messages"
overview: |
  Opens a Slack channel and captures the most recent messages as a structured snapshot — sender, timestamp, message body, reaction counts, and any thread-reply indicators. The number of messages captured can be tuned by the caller; the default returns enough history to drive a triage or summarisation step.

  Because it uses the browser rather than the Slack API, it works without workspace-level app installation and reflects only what the current logged-in user can actually see. Use it as the perception step in front of any Slack response or triage workflow.
