Retrieves detailed information about a Discord server including channels and member count
AI agents call discord_get_server_info to retrieve information from MCP-Discord without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only operation that retrieves server metadata (channels, member count). It does not modify, delete, execute code, or trigger external operations. The verb 'retrieves' and the informational nature of the data being returned (server info) clearly indicate a Read category classification.
