## Why discord_help is rated Low

The tool provides informational output about other tools' usage and details. This is a read-only operation with no side effects, no code execution, no data modification, and no destructive actions. It falls squarely into the Read category with low severity due to minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'discord_help' and description 'Show details and a usage example for a tool' indicate this retrieves documentation/help information without modifying, executing actions, or deleting data."

## Use case

AI agents call discord_help to retrieve information from Discord MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Discord MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "discord_help": {}
  }
}
```
