## About Zulip with LuumenAI

Zulip is where your incident talk already lives. Luumen reads it directly: which messages match a narrow, what the drafts folder holds, who is present right now. When the work calls for a change in Zulip — a new channel for an incident, an alert word, a reaction on a status update — Luumen previews the change and waits for your approval before it goes through.

## Example tools

Read-only (42 in total):

- `ZULIP_CHECK_MESSAGES_MATCH_NARROW` — Check if specific messages match a narrow filter.
- `ZULIP_GET_ALERT_WORDS` — Retrieve all configured alert words for the authenticated user.
