RISK

Why discord_read is rated Low

This tool retrieves existing Discord messages without side effects. It is clearly a Read operation. Severity is medium rather than low because unauthorized message reading could expose sensitive communications, PII, or private conversations if an AI agent accesses channels it shouldn't have permission for.

From the tool's definition Tool name explicitly contains 'read' and description states 'Read messages from a Discord channel' - a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion of data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs discord_read safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UnClick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For discord_read, this is the rule to start with:

discord_read Allowed

discord_read is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "discord_read": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect UnClick, apply this rule, and every discord_read call is checked against it from then on.
