Root Cause

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, the message tool for the Discord channel plugin allows creating channels, categories, and threads, but it lacks an action to create webhooks. Even when the bot role is granted the "Manage Webhooks" permission in Discord, agents cannot programmatically provision webhooks because there is no action="webhook-create" available.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, the message tool for the Discord channel plugin allows creating channels, categories, and threads, but it lacks an action to create webhooks. Even when the bot role is granted the "Manage Webhooks" permission in Discord, agents cannot programmatically provision webhooks because there is no action="webhook-create" available.

This causes friction for orchestration workflows where sub-agents or specific personas need to post via webhook to use their own name and avatar, forcing the user to manually generate the webhook URL in the Discord UI.

Describe the solution you'd like Add a webhook-create action to the message tool for the Discord channel plugin. It should accept the target channel and optionally a default name/avatar, and return the generated webhook URL in the tool response.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Adding a webhook-create action to the message tool for the Discord channel plugin is likely the most direct fix to enable programmatic webhook provisioning.

Guidance

  • Review the Discord API documentation to ensure the "Manage Webhooks" permission is sufficient for programmatically creating webhooks.
  • Consider the security implications of allowing agents to create webhooks and potential restrictions needed, such as limiting the scope of webhooks to specific channels or roles.
  • Evaluate the necessity of optional parameters for default name and avatar in the webhook-create action to ensure they align with the desired workflow and security policies.
  • Assess the potential impact on existing workflows and manual processes, planning for a smooth transition to the new automated webhook creation capability.

Example

No code example is provided due to the lack of specific implementation details in the issue.

Notes

The solution's feasibility depends on Discord's API capabilities and the plugin's current architecture. Ensuring backward compatibility and thorough testing will be crucial.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by enhancing the message tool with the proposed webhook-create action, as it directly addresses the identified friction point in orchestration workflows.
