Description

The dialog that installs Hookshot (at least the RSS bot) states the following:

> Permissions
> This extension requires inviting bots

That is clearly untrue, as it requires way more permissions to function.

Related: #739

Review related issue #739 for context; done means the dialog accurately describes all required permissions instead of stating that only inviting bots is needed.
