WHAT IT DOES

RISK

Why discord_update_guild_settings is rated Medium

This tool updates Discord guild (server) settings, which is a reversible modification of data. While guild settings can include sensitive configurations like moderation policies or member permissions, the changes are not irreversible deletions. The high severity reflects that misconfiguration could affect server governance and access controls, but the impact is bounded by the ability to revert changes.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'discord_update_guild_settings' combined with description 'Update guild settings' indicates modification of server configuration.
