WHAT IT DOES

What discord_upsert_command does on Discord MCP Server

AI agents use discord_upsert_command to create or update resources in Discord MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Discord MCP Server environment.

RISK

Why discord_upsert_command is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies slash command configurations in Discord, which are reversible changes. While the resulting commands could be misused to trigger harmful actions, the tool itself only modifies command metadata/definitions, not executing those commands or deleting data. This places it in Write rather than Execute or Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states "Create or update a slash command" - these are write operations that create or modify bot command definitions. The upsert pattern (create-or-update) is inherently a write operation.
