Bulk delete messages from a channel (up to 100, messages must be < 14 days old)
AI agents call bulk_delete_messages to permanently remove resources in Discord — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool permanently removes messages, which cannot be undone. The bulk nature and potential scale (up to 100 messages at once) amplifies the blast radius if an AI agent is tricked into deleting important conversation history. While Discord may retain some server-side logs, user-facing deletion is irreversible from the application perspective.
From the tool's definition bulk_delete_messages: "Bulk delete messages from a channel" — the term "delete" combined with "bulk" indicates permanent, irreversible removal of data (up to 100 messages per operation).
