Govern your Slack agent.
Let agents post to approved channels and read threads — not DM your whole company or pull message history.
The risk
What can go wrong when an agent holds Slack.
A raw Slack token lets an agent do anything the token can — no boundary, no record. These are the actions you don't want it taking on its own.
- Posting or DMing outside approved channels
- Reading private channels and DMs
- Bulk-inviting or removing members
- Exfiltrating message history
The HiveKey policy
Scope it. Guard it. Log it.
Give the agent a role with exactly the Slack actions it needs, then guard the rest in the path.
Scope — granted
- chat.post:#support, #ops
- channels.read:#support
Guard — enforced
- Deny DMs to non-allow-listed users
- No access to private channels
- Rate-limit posts to 20/hour
The proof
Every Slack action — allowed or denied — on one trail.
