Ask an LLM

“How can I verify my Slack token works and see which user and team it's for?”

Tell an agent

Test my authentication and tell me who I am.

Confirm this token is valid and show its team.

POST /auth.revoke Revoke the current access token · Slack Revoke an Access Token #

Ask an LLM

“How do I revoke the token my app is using?”

“Can I test a token revocation without actually revoking it?”

Tell an agent destructive · confirm first

Revoke the access token I'm calling with.

Do a dry-run token revocation with test set to {test}.
