Description
People have many slack instances so it's important to be able to easily probe to get the slack instance name and url to make decisions whether it's correct to do searches, etc. People have so many repos and many slack instances, it's ripe for confusion if an agent is searching a slack instance that's unrelated to the repo someone is working on.
