THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why move_to_voice needs a policy

This tool modifies a member's state by relocating them between voice channels. It is reversible (the member can be moved back or can rejoin), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. Misuse could disrupt users by forcibly moving them, giving it a medium severity.

From the tool's definition Move a member from their current voice channel to a different voice channel

POLICY

How to control move_to_voice

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 move_to_voice:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "move_to_voice": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "move_to_voice_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

move_to_voice stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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.
