Get a snapshot of server metrics: total members (humans vs cached bots), channel breakdown (text/voice/category), role count, boost tier and count, and creation date. Read-only. Returns a JSON object. Note: the bot count reflects only members currently in cache.
AI agents call discord_get_server_stats to retrieve information from Discord without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool purely retrieves and queries server statistics without any side effects. It returns information about the Discord server's configuration and membership state but does not modify, delete, or execute any actions. The explicit 'Read-only' designation confirms this is a data retrieval operation with no capability to alter server state.
From the tool's definition The description explicitly states 'Read-only' and lists retrieval operations: 'Get a snapshot of server metrics', 'total members', 'channel breakdown', 'role count', 'boost tier and count', and 'creation date'.

Returns a JSON object. Note: the bot count reflects only members currently in cache. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Discord MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Discord MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for discord_get_server_stats: 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. Nothing to install.
discord_get_server_stats 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 discord_get_server_stats 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 discord_get_server_stats. 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.
discord_get_server_stats is provided by the Discord MCP server (@pasympa/discord-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
