Discord (Via
message
)

Use the

message
tool. No provider-specific
discord
tool exposed to the agent.

Musts

  • Always:
    channel: "discord"
    .
  • Respect gating:
    channels.discord.actions.*
    (some default off:
    roles
    ,
    moderation
    ,
    presence
    ,
    channels
    ).
  • Prefer explicit ids:
    guildId
    ,
    channelId
    ,
    messageId
    ,
    userId
    .
  • Multi-account: optional
    accountId
    .

Guidelines

  • Avoid Markdown tables in outbound Discord messages.
  • Mention users as
    <@USER_ID>
    .
  • Prefer Discord components v2 (
    components
    ) for rich UI; use legacy
    embeds
    only when you must.

Targets

  • Send-like actions:
    to: "channel:<id>"
    or
    to: "user:<id>"
    .
  • Message-specific actions:
    channelId: "<id>"
    (or
    to
    ) +
    messageId: "<id>"
    .

Common Actions (Examples)

Send message:

{
  "action": "send",
  "channel": "discord",
  "to": "channel:123",
  "message": "hello",
  "silent": true
}

Send with media:

{
  "action": "send",
  "channel": "discord",
  "to": "channel:123",
  "message": "see attachment",
  "media": "file:///tmp/example.png"
}
  • Optional
    silent: true
    to suppress Discord notifications.

Send with components v2 (recommended for rich UI):

{
  "action": "send",
  "channel": "discord",
  "to": "channel:123",
  "message": "Status update",
  "components": "[Carbon v2 components]"
}
  • components
    expects Carbon component instances (Container, TextDisplay, etc.) from JS/TS integrations.
  • Do not combine
    components
    with
    embeds
    (Discord rejects v2 + embeds).

Legacy embeds (not recommended):

{
  "action": "send",
  "channel": "discord",
  "to": "channel:123",
  "message": "Status update",
  "embeds": [{ "title": "Legacy", "description": "Embeds are legacy." }]
}
  • embeds
    are ignored when components v2 are present.

  • No markdown tables.
  • Mention users as
    <@USER_ID>
    .
