What a bot is asking for, read straight out of its invite link before you approve it.
Checking a Discord bot invite: FAQ
First, copy the invite link without opening it. Second, paste it above and press Check invite. The tool lists the requested scopes and permissions, and it flags access such as Administrator or access to your account. A link with only the app ID uses settings chosen by the app's owner, which aren't listed in the link. A response type or extra scopes can cause a redirect after approval, even when the link doesn't name an address. The tool reads the request, but it can't tell you whether the bot is safe.
Paste the number above and press Check invite to see each permission it sets, like 2048 for Send Messages or 8 for Administrator. Only the permissions are checked, because a number on its own has no app ID or scopes. To check those too, paste the whole invite link.
Everything a member can be allowed to do. Administrator turns on every permission at once and ignores the settings on individual channels, so the bot can read private channels, delete channels, and kick or ban any member whose top role is below its own. Whoever runs the bot has that power too, and so does anyone who breaks into it. Most bots work fine with a short list of specific permissions.
A scope says what kind of access the app is asking for. bot adds the bot to a server, and applications.commands lets it add slash commands there. Scopes like identify, email and guilds are different: they give the app access to the account of the person who clicks Authorize. Permissions are the list of things the bot may do inside the server once it's in, like Send Messages or Ban Members.
Some bots have a website you sign in to with Discord, and that sign-in uses scopes like identify. It isn't needed just to add a bot to a server. If a link that's meant to add a bot also asks for email, guilds or guilds.join, that's worth questioning, because guilds.join lets the app put your account into servers.
Yes. When a bot is added with permissions, Discord gives it a role of its own that holds them. Anyone who can manage roles above it can open Server Settings, go to Roles and turn individual permissions off, or limit what the bot can see and do in each channel, one channel at a time.
No. It tells you what the invite asks for, which is the part you can check before you click. It can't see who runs the bot, how the bot is written or what it does with the messages it can read. A bot with a modest request can still misuse it, so add bots from sources you have a reason to trust.
No. The link or number is read by your browser. The tool makes no request to Discord and none to Redact with what you type, and it never asks for a bot token, a password or a login.
