…ccess Adds a new `download-file` message tool action that allows the agent to download Slack file attachments by file ID on demand. This is a prerequisite for accessing images posted in thread history, where file attachments are not automatically resolved. Changes: - Add `files` field to `SlackMessageSummary` type so file IDs are visible in message read results - Add `downloadSlackFile()` to fetch a file by ID via `files.info` and resolve it through the existing `resolveSlackMedia()` pipeline - Register `download-file` in `CHANNEL_MESSAGE_ACTION_NAMES`, `MESSAGE_ACTION_TARGET_MODE`, and `listSlackMessageActions` - Add `downloadFile` dispatch case in `handleSlackAction` - Wire agent-facing `download-file` → internal `downloadFile` in `handleSlackMessageAction` Closes openclaw#24681

Summary
Adds a new
download-filemessage tool action so the agent can fetch Slack file attachments on demand by file ID. This is the pragmatic fix for the issue described in #24681 — rather than eagerly resolving all images from thread history (which would require changes to the prepare pipeline), the agent can now fetch specific files when it encounters afilesarray in a thread message.Changes
src/slack/actions.ts: Addfilesfield toSlackMessageSummarytype + newdownloadSlackFile()function that fetches fresh metadata viafiles.infoand resolves the file through the existingresolveSlackMedia()pipelinesrc/slack/message-actions.ts: Add"download-file"tolistSlackMessageActions(gated on themessagesaction flag, same asread)src/channels/plugins/message-action-names.ts: Register"download-file"inCHANNEL_MESSAGE_ACTION_NAMESsrc/infra/outbound/message-action-spec.ts: Add"download-file": "none"toMESSAGE_ACTION_TARGET_MODEsrc/agents/tools/slack-actions.ts: AdddownloadFiledispatch case inhandleSlackActionsrc/plugin-sdk/slack-message-actions.ts: Wire agent-facing"download-file"→ internal"downloadFile"inhandleSlackMessageActionHow it works
When the agent reads thread history via
action: read, messages with attachments now include afilesarray withid,name, andmimetype. The agent can then callaction: download-filewith thefileIdto download and view the image — usingfiles.infoto get a freshurl_private_download, then resolving it through the sameresolveSlackMedia()path used for live messages.Testing
Tested end-to-end on a live Slack workspace: the agent successfully reads thread history, identifies file IDs from the
filesarray, downloads images via the new action, and describes their content.Closes #24681
Greptile Summary
Adds
download-fileaction for agents to fetch Slack attachments on-demand by file ID. The implementation reuses the existingresolveSlackMedia()pipeline with proper security validation. Key changes:filesfield toSlackMessageSummarytype to expose file metadata (id, name, mimetype) when reading thread historydownloadSlackFile()function that fetches fresh metadata viafiles.infoAPI to avoid stale private URLsmessagesaction flag as the existingreadaction for consistent access controlmediaMaxMblimits with fallback to 20MB defaultThe change enables agents to selectively download files from thread history rather than eagerly fetching all attachments, providing better control over bandwidth and resource usage.
