Deletes a Discord channel with an optional reason
AI agents call discord_delete_channel to permanently remove resources in MCP-Discord — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Deletion of a Discord channel cannot be undone and destroys all messages, pins, and metadata associated with that channel. This is a classic destructive action. While the blast radius is limited to a single channel (not system-wide financial or code execution risk), the permanent data loss and potential operational disruption to a Discord community justify 'high' severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description states 'Deletes a Discord channel' — this is an irreversible operation that permanently removes a channel and all its content.
