Get detailed information about a specific guild member, including their username, nickname, roles, join date, and timeout status.
AI agents call get_member to retrieve information from Discord MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs only information retrieval without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The mention of 'get' in the name and the read-only nature of fetching member metadata confirms it belongs in the Read category. Severity is low because exposure of member metadata, while potentially sensitive in some contexts, does not directly enable destructive actions or financial harm.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves 'detailed information about a specific guild member' including 'username, nickname, roles, join date, and timeout status' — purely a data query operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get detailed information about a specific guild member, including their username, nickname, roles, join date, and timeout status. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Discord MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Discord MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_member: 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 MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_member is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_member 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_member. 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.
get_member is provided by the Discord MCP Server MCP server (jackglick/discord-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
