Using my AI app to get Slack user's response always fails. The tool **list_repl…ies** requires a timestamp to fetch message responses, but this isn't possible (to determine the timestamp) when an external app connects via MCP. Therefore, we need a tool to retrieve replies from a specific Slack channel without relying on the timestamp or use additional code to parse the list within a loop.
