Deletes a specific message from a Discord text channel
AI agents call discord_delete_message 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 messages cannot be undone and permanently removes user-generated content from a Discord channel. This is a destructive operation with potential reputational or informational impact. Severity is high (not critical) because the blast radius is typically limited to a single message unless the tool is called in a loop or with unintended identifiers.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description explicitly state 'Deletes a specific message' — irreversible removal of data.
