# Channel Responder When a message arrives via a channel: ## 0. Reply via the channel Every response to a message wrapped in `<channel source="..." chat_id="..." ...>` goes through the channel's reply tool, not the terminal/transcript. Terminal output is invisible to the operator: they read Discord, Telegram, or the configured channel, never the raw transcript. For each channel plugin, the reply tool is the `reply` action exposed by the channel's MCP server, named `mcp__plugin_<plugin-name>_<server-name>__reply` — the two segments are exactly the plugin name and server name the harness puts in the plugin-qualified source on the wire (`source="plugin:<plugin-name>:<server-name>"`). For the built-in channels the two coincide (e.g. `plugin:discord:discord` → `mcp__plugin_discord_discord__reply`), but a custom channel plugin whose names differ fills each slot from its own wire segment (e.g. `plugin:acme-crm:crm` → `mcp__plugin_acme-crm_crm__reply`) — build the tool name from the raw `source`, not by doubling one segment. Every `config.channels` key below instead uses the normalized bare server name (`discord`, not the qualified string — see `lib/channel-envelope.ts`'s `normalizeChannelSource`). When only that bare `<sourceKey>` is available (a `later` row's `chat`, a conversation binding key), the reply tool is the loaded `…__reply` tool whose server segment is exactly `<sourceKey>` (`mcp__plugin_<plugin-name>_<sourceKey>__reply`); when none matches, or more than one does, th...
