Implementation Reference
- The core handler function that implements the moderate_message tool. It fetches the message, deletes it with the given reason, previews the content, and optionally applies a timeout to the author if specified.@staticmethod async def handle_moderate_message(discord_client, arguments: Dict[str, Any]) -> List[TextContent]: """Delete a message and optionally timeout the user""" channel = await discord_client.fetch_channel(int(arguments["channel_id"])) message = await channel.fetch_message(int(arguments["message_id"])) # Get the message author before deletion author = message.author content_preview = message.content[:50] + "..." if len(message.content) > 50 else message.content # Delete the message await message.delete(reason=arguments["reason"]) result = f"Deleted message from {author.name}: '{content_preview}'\nReason: {arguments['reason']}" # Apply timeout if specified if "timeout_minutes" in arguments and arguments["timeout_minutes"] > 0: if isinstance(author, discord.Member): timeout_duration = timedelta(minutes=arguments["timeout_minutes"]) await author.timeout(timeout_duration, reason=arguments["reason"]) result += f"\nApplied {arguments['timeout_minutes']} minute timeout to {author.name}" else: result += f"\nCould not timeout {author.name} (user may not be in server)" return [TextContent(type="text", text=result)]
