Get detailed information about a specific role in a guild.
AI agents call get_role 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 queries and returns information about a Discord role without modifying, creating, or deleting any data. It is a simple read operation analogous to fetching metadata. The low severity reflects minimal risk if misused by an AI agent—retrieving role information does not compromise server security or cause adverse effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_role' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific role in a guild' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects.
