THE RISK

Why end_stage needs a policy

Ending a stage instance terminates an ongoing live audio event irreversibly — once ended, the stage session and its state cannot be restored. This is a destructive action with moderate blast radius as it disrupts active community events.

From the tool's definition End an active stage instance on a stage channel

POLICY

How to control end_stage

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "end_stage"
  ]
}

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

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

Questions about end_stage

What does the end_stage tool do? +

End an active stage instance on a stage channel. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Discord MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.

How do I enforce a policy on end_stage? +

Register the Discord MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for end_stage: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Discord. Nothing to install.

What risk level is end_stage? +

end_stage is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.

Can I rate-limit end_stage? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the end_stage rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block end_stage completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for end_stage. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides end_stage? +

end_stage is provided by the Discord MCP server (hardheadhackerhead/discord-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Discord tool call.

Start from Discord, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
