Discord MCP - Discord server management MCP for AI agents

Crosspost message

crosspost_message

Publish an announcement channel message to every server that follows it. Use it to distribute updates across all subscribed Discord communities from one channel.

Instructions

Publish a message in an announcement channel out to every server that follows it.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations only say it is a non-destructive write. The description adds the crucial behavioral fact that the effect fans out to every following server, which is exactly the kind of blast-radius context an agent needs before writing. It stops short of stating required permissions or whether the crosspost can be undone.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One sentence, front-loaded with the action and closed with the scope that matters most. No filler and nothing to trim.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a three-parameter, fully documented write tool with annotation coverage and no output schema, the description covers what it does and the fan-out consequence. Only the permission/precondition story is missing for full completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%: guild, channel, and message_id are each documented in the schema, including the "omit to use default guild" and "message link accepted" conveniences. The description adds nothing on top of that, so the baseline of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Uses a specific verb ("Publish") on a specific resource (a message in an announcement channel) and states the propagation scope ("every server that follows it"). That scope wording is what separates it from send_message or forward_message, though no sibling is named explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The mention of "announcement channel" implies a prerequisite, but the description never says when to prefer this over send_message/forward_message, nor what happens if the channel is not a follower-enabled announcement channel. An agent must infer the selection rule from the noun alone.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
