send_discord_webhook · EasyWebhook- MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What send_discord_webhook does on EasyWebhook-MCP

AI agents invoke send_discord_webhook to trigger actions in EasyWebhook-MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why send_discord_webhook needs a policy

This tool triggers an external HTTP operation (sending a message to Discord via webhook). It doesn't just read or write local data — it performs an outbound network action with real-world side effects (posting messages to a Discord channel). Misuse could enable spam, phishing messages, or social engineering attacks on Discord communities, warranting a high severity rating.
