Implementation Reference
- The main handler function that implements the send_message tool. It fetches the Discord channel by ID, sends the provided content as a message, and returns a confirmation with the channel name and message ID.
async def handle_send_message(discord_client, arguments: Dict[str, Any]) -> List[TextContent]: """Send a message to a channel""" channel = await discord_client.fetch_channel(int(arguments["channel_id"])) message = await channel.send(arguments["content"]) return [TextContent( type="text", text=f"Message sent successfully to #{channel.name}. Message ID: {message.id}" )] - The tool schema definition in the list_tools() function, specifying the input parameters channel_id (string) and content (string) as required for the send_message tool.
