Security First
Transparent server permissions
We value server security. Sonar does not request Administrator permissions and only uses what is necessary to stream stories and render controls.
Connect & Speak
Allows the bot to join your voice call and read the story text out-loud using realistic voices.
View Channels & Send Messages
Allows the bot to listen to slash commands and print the interactive playback control card in chat.
Use Voice Activity
Required to stream audio into voice calls without forcing server-wide push-to-talk settings on the bot.
Sonar only acts when summoned to a voice channel. It does not scrape messages, log voices, or read content in other channels.
No admin powers needed
