`SlackTools` now includes a workspace search tool, letting agents query messages, files, and content across channels directly from a tool call. This makes it straightforward to build agents that surface relevant Slack history as part of a broader workflow, without requiring manual channel navigation or separate integrations.

Details**:**

- New `search_workspace` tool queries Slack's search API and returns matching messages and files
- Works alongside existing `SlackTools` capabilities for reading channels, posting messages, and managing threads
- Requires a Slack token with the appropriate `search:read` scope
