Description

I had to disconnect it finally because it would always respond to all messages across all channels even when mentions-only was toggled on with a specific channel ID.

Image

It also leaks its own internal thinking and self-talk to messages:

The user is directly commanding me to be silent. I should respect this request and skip responding. This is a clear instruction to not speak.
