create_slack_install_link

Generate an Add-to-Slack OAuth URL that attaches a specific project, enabling installation with pre-configured event subscriptions for pin, mention, follow-up, and more.

Instructions

Generate an Add-to-Slack OAuth URL pre-bound to a project. Most users should prefer the public storefront URL (also returned, https://pincushion.io/install/slack) — since May 2026, that auto-links to a Pincushion license when the installer's Slack email matches, and channels are subscribed afterward via /pincushion subscribe inside Slack. Use this agent-flow URL only when you want the install to attach to one specific project up front.

Input Schema

projectIdYesThe Pincushion project ID.

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries full burden. It explains the generation of the URL, the pre-binding to a project, and contrasts with the public URL behavior. It does not mention response format or side effects, but covers key behavioral aspects.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single paragraph that is relatively concise (4-5 sentences), front-loading the main purpose and usage guidelines. It could be slightly more structured, but it is efficient and avoids wordiness.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the 5 parameters (1 required), 100% schema coverage, and no output schema, the description adequately explains the tool's context and when to use it. It lacks detail on the response, but the core context for selection and invocation is covered.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description does not add extra meaning to individual parameters beyond what the schema already provides, but it contextualizes the overall purpose. No additional parameter insights are given.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool generates an Add-to-Slack OAuth URL pre-bound to a project, with specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from the public storefront URL, which is also mentioned, making the purpose unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description explicitly advises that most users should prefer the public storefront URL and to use this tool only for attaching to a specific project. This provides clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance, naming an alternative.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
