Implementation Reference
- src/tools/role-tools.ts:219-242 (handler)The handler function for the 'assign_role' tool. It fetches the Discord guild, member, and role, then adds the role to the member using `member.roles.add()`. Handles errors with `withErrorHandling` and formats the response as JSON or error text.
async ({ guildId, memberId, roleId, reason }) => { const result = await withErrorHandling(async () => { const client = await getDiscordClient(); const guild = await client.guilds.fetch(guildId); const member = await guild.members.fetch(memberId); const role = await guild.roles.fetch(roleId); if (!role) throw new Error('Role not found'); await member.roles.add(role, reason); return { memberId, roleId, roleName: role.name, memberName: member.displayName, message: 'Role assigned successfully', }; }); if (!result.success) { return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: result.error }], isError: true }; } return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result.data, null, 2) }] }; } - src/tools/role-tools.ts:213-218 (schema)Zod input schema defining parameters for the 'assign_role' tool: required guildId, memberId, roleId; optional reason.
