Tars requests the OAuth scopes you configure: typically 'bot' and 'messages.read' for basic operation. Specific capabilities like role management require 'Manage Roles', message deletion needs 'Manage Messages', and banning requires 'Ban Members'. You control exactly which permissions to grant during the OAuth flow, and you can revoke them from your Discord server settings at any time.

You configure which channels the agent monitors and responds in. Restrict it to your support channel, let it moderate all public channels, or set different behaviors per channel. The agent respects Discord's permission overwrites, so it will only operate in channels where the bot role has access.

The agent can create new threads from messages or reply within existing threads. For support questions, it typically creates a thread to keep the main channel clean. For quick answers, it replies directly. You configure this behavior based on channel type and message content.

Tars processes messages in real-time to generate responses but does not maintain a persistent database of your server's message history or member profiles. Data is fetched from Discord's API during active conversations and used only for that interaction. No bulk data exports or message archives are created.

Yes. When combined with other Tars tool integrations, the agent can verify a purchase in Shopify or check a CRM record, then assign the appropriate Discord role. This cross-tool workflow happens within a single conversation, so a customer can verify their order and receive channel access instantly.

The agent gracefully escalates. It can ping a specific moderator role, create a support thread tagged for human review, or direct the member to your documentation. You define the fallback behavior so no question goes completely unanswered, and your team gets notified about issues requiring human judgment.

Traditional bots respond to fixed commands with scripted answers. Tars AI Agent understands natural language, holds actual conversations, and takes actions across your entire tool stack. It can look up a customer record in your CRM, check an order in Shopify, then assign a Discord role, all within one conversation flow.

Yes. The AI agent detects the language of incoming messages automatically and can moderate content, respond to questions, and apply server rules regardless of language. For multilingual communities, this means consistent moderation quality across English, Spanish, Japanese, or any language your members use.
