## The 15 tools in this group.

These are the names Bond picks between. You never type one.

- `list_channels`: List all channels in the Discord server: names, types (text, voice, category, forum, media, stage, announcement), IDs and parent category.
- `create_channel`: Create one text, voice, forum, media, stage, or announcement channel, optionally inside a category, whose permissions it adopts.
- `delete_channel`: Delete a channel and every message in it.
- `bulk_create_channels`: Create up to 20 channels of mixed types, such as text, voice, forum and stage, across existing categories in one step.
- `edit_channel`: Edit a channel's settings: name, topic, slowmode, NSFW status, position, voice region or video quality, and thread defaults.
- `set_slowmode`: Set the slowmode (rate limit) on a text channel: members must wait this many seconds between messages.
- `move_channel`: Move a channel into a category, out of one, or to a different position in the channel list.
- `follow_channel`: Follow an announcement channel so its published messages are crossposted into another channel automatically.
- `clone_channel`: Clone a channel: a new channel copying its type, topic, slowmode, NSFW status, and every permission overwrite, optionally under a different name.
- `edit_forum_settings`: Edit the defaults of a forum or media channel: reaction emoji, post sorting order, and whether every new post must have a tag.
- `reorder_channels`: Bulk update positions and parent categories for many channels, for coordinated layout changes that should land together.
- `create_category`: Create a category: a collapsible section in the channel list that groups related channels.
- `edit_category`: Rename a category or change its position in the channel list.
- `delete_category`: Delete a category from the Discord server.
- `convert_channel_type`: Convert a channel to another type, keeping its name, category, position, topic, slowmode, NSFW flag, thread defaults and permission overwrites.
