Answers a workspace question: POST /v1/provider/slack/search.

Slack's search.messages wants a USER token for a person's own view of a workspace; a bot token searches what the app can see. Whichever the install granted, the token custodied for this org is the one sent.

MCP reaches provider through the provider tool, which names its 38 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. describe explains any of them:

curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_connections"
         }
       }
     }'
