| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Best for | Incident and comms bots that post updates, read history, or add reactions. |
| Connect with | Route mode for slack.com, REST at {base}/slack/api/..., hosted https://{sessionId}.clones.molar.it/slack/api, or MCP molar_clone_spawn |
| Known limits | Recorded responses only; unimplemented paths return 501; read-only by default unless promoted stateful |
| Seeds | busy-workspace, empty, engineering-team, incident-active — apply on spawn or via molar_clone_seed |
MCP tools
Fixture clones use shared control-plane tools — no vendor-specific MCP surface.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
molar_clone_spawn | Spawn fixture session (kind: "slack", optional seed) |
molar_clone_seed | Apply a named seed to an existing session |
molar_clone_route | Map slack.com to the active session |
molar_clone_stop | Tear down the session |
See MCP server for world_snapshot, world_restore, and cross-clone tools.
REST API coverage
The clone handles these recorded endpoints (local base http://localhost:8000/slack/api):
GET /conversations.historyGET /conversations.listGET /conversations.repliesGET /users.listGET /users.profile.getPOST /chat.postMessagePOST /chat.postMessage?thread_ts=1717000000.000100POST /reactions.add
If your agent calls a path not in this list, the clone returns 501 unimplemented_in_clone and logs the request. Submit missing coverage via the dashboard Developers → 501 request form.
