Unblocked Context Search — Messages

Messaging-only retrieval. Calls context_search_messages with a natural-language query to semantically search team conversations — surfacing informal context, decisions, and discussions that don't make it into code or docs.

Sources: Slack, Microsoft Teams.

How to Invoke

context_search_messages is CLI-only in most environments — it does not appear in the MCP tool list even when fully available. Run command -v unblocked once per session and cache the result. Do not conclude the tool is unavailable from the MCP surface alone. See unblocked-tools-guide for full routing rules.

CLI (preferred):

unblocked context-search-messages --query "<your query>" [--instruction "<instruction>"]

MCP fallback (only if CLI is confirmed unavailable): fall back to context_research with instruction: "Prefer Slack threads and team conversations; deprioritize code and docs".

If neither is available: stop and tell the user Unblocked is not configured in this environment (see unblocked-tools-guide for the full message). Do not substitute with other messaging-search tools.
