Critical Risk

Why discord_remove_role needs a policy

Removing a role from a member is an irreversible action in the sense that it immediately revokes permissions and access. While technically a role could be re-assigned, the action itself is a destructive removal of a permission/access grant rather than a modification.

How to control discord_remove_role

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP-Discord, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for discord_remove_role:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "discord_remove_role"
  ]
}

discord_remove_role disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register MCP-Discord — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
