What discord_react does on Discord Bridge MCP Server

AI agents use discord_react to create or update resources in Discord Bridge MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Discord Bridge MCP Server environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why discord_react needs a policy

Adding a reaction is a reversible modification of message state that does not retrieve data (Read), execute arbitrary code (Execute), delete anything (Destructive), or move money (Financial). It creates/modifies Discord message metadata. Severity is low because reaction additions have minimal blast radius—they cause no data loss, financial impact, or system disruption.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Add a reaction emoji to a Discord message', which is a modification action that adds metadata to an existing message.
