end_poll · Cursor Discord Channels MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What end_poll does on Cursor Discord Channels

AI agents use end_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.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why end_poll needs a policy

Ending a poll early is a reversible modification to a Discord object (changing its state from active to ended). It does not delete data permanently, execute code, or move money. It does modify the poll's state irreversibly in the sense that a poll can't be un-ended, but this is more akin to a state change/write than a destructive deletion.

Verdict

end_poll Rate-limited

end_poll stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
