Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Omnicord Tools (155)

get_rate_limit_status

How rate limiting has been going: how many times Discord asked Omnicord to slow down (the request layer waits automatically), and the invalid-request counter that matters because Discord temporarily bans an IP after 10,000 invalid responses in ten minutes. Useful when calls feel slow.

get_bot_info

Identity and status of a connected Discord bot: bot user, application, guild count, enabled gateway intents, and the Omnicord version. With more than one bot configured, pass bot to pick which (list_servers shows the configured bots). Use run_setup_check for a full health check with fix instructions.

run_setup_check

End-to-end health check of the Omnicord setup: token presence and validity, privileged gateway intent toggles, guild count against Discord's verification thresholds, and default guild membership. Every failed check comes with instructions for fixing it. With more than one bot configured, pass bot to check a specific one. Run this first when anything misbehaves.

get_server_overview

Structured snapshot of a server: identity, member counts, boost status, channel outline grouped by category, and role count. The natural first call when starting work on a server.
