Get information about a Discord user
AI agents call get-user-info to retrieve information from Discord MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves user data from Discord's API without any side effects or modifications. It is a straightforward query operation that falls squarely into the Read category. Severity is low because user information exposure through this tool is limited to what Discord's public API provides, and misuse would result in unauthorized information gathering rather than system compromise or data destruction.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get-user-info' and description states it retrieves 'information about a Discord user' with no modification, deletion, or execution of commands.
