  Core implementation of the get_channels tool. Fetches guild channels, organizes by category, formats output with emojis and details.

  Registers the get_channels tool in the MCP server via @app.list_tools(), defining name, description, and input schema.

  Tool(

      description="Get a organized list of all channels in a Discord server",
      inputSchema={
          "type": "object",

          "required": ["server_id"]
      }
  ),

• src/discord_mcp/integrated_server.py:1021-1031 (registration)

  Routes get_channels tool calls to CoreToolHandlers.handle_get_channels via dynamic getattr in the main @app.call_tool() handler.

          return await getattr(CoreToolHandlers, handler_method)(discord_client, arguments)

• src/discord_mcp/integrated_server.py:646-655 (schema)

  Input schema definition requiring 'server_id' as string for the get_channels tool.

  inputSchema={

          "server_id": {
              "type": "string",
