Create a Discord poll in a channel. Polls allow users to vote on multiple choice options. Max 10 answers, duration 1-768 hours (default 24).
AI agents use create_poll to create or update resources in Cursor Discord Channels — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Cursor Discord Channels environment.
Creating a poll is a write operation that modifies the channel state by adding a new interactive element. The impact is reversible (polls expire or can be deleted), local to Discord, and low severity because a malicious poll has minimal blast radius — it cannot delete data, run code, move money, or cause lasting harm. Confidence is high because the description is explicit and unambiguous.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Create a Discord poll in a channel' — this creates new data (a poll object) in Discord.

It is categorised as a Write tool in the Cursor Discord Channels MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Cursor Discord Channels MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_poll: 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 Cursor Discord Channels. Nothing to install.
create_poll is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_poll 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 create_poll. 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.
create_poll is provided by the Cursor Discord Channels MCP server (lilyzhng/cursor-discord-channels). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
