discord

A guide for building Discord integrations such as bots, webhooks, slash commands, and API workflows. Discord is a chat platform organized into servers and channels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to post notifications, read or manage Discord content with a bot, receive slash commands, or connect applications to Discord through its API.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right type of integration and keep bot tokens and webhook URLs out of source code.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

discord scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (__init__.py, scripts/__init__.py, scripts/_http.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Discord

Use this skill when implementing or automating Discord integrations.

Pick the right approach

  1. Incoming webhooks (best for one-way posting)

  2. Bot token + REST API (two-way / richer automation)

    • Use when you need to post as a bot, manage channels, read history, moderate, etc.
    • REST API base: https://discord.com/api/v10
    • Most REST calls use Authorization: Bot <token>.
  3. Interactions / slash commands (user-invoked commands)

    • Use application commands and interaction webhooks.
    • Typically requires running a web server to receive interactions and respond quickly.

Secrets & safety

  • Never hard-code tokens. Use environment variables:
    • DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL for incoming webhooks
    • DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN for bot REST API calls
  • Treat webhook URLs as secrets (they include a token).
  • Do not automate normal user accounts (“self-bots”). Use official bot/OAuth flows.

Footguns / safety notes (read this)

  • Webhook URLs are secrets (the token is embedded in the URL). Don’t paste them into issues, logs, CI output, or chat.
  • Mentions are dangerous by default: always set allowed_mentions to something strict (these examples use {"parse": []}) to avoid accidentally pinging @everyone / roles.
  • Watch for accidental secret logging:
    • If you build your own scripts, avoid including full webhook URLs in exception messages.
    • The bundled scripts sanitize webhook URLs in error output, but you should still avoid printing the URL yourself.
  • Rate limits: handle HTTP 429 with retry_after/Retry-After, and don’t retry forever.

Quick recipes

The shell snippets below use POSIX-style environment variables and line continuations. On Windows PowerShell, use curl.exe for the shown flags and $env:DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL / $env:DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN for environment variables, or translate the request to Invoke-RestMethod.

Files

What ships with it

10 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

discord is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenHands/extensions (137 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,033 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
