Discord does not modify game files.
Discord does not analyze the game files.
Discord does not integrate with the game files.
Discord is not reverse engineering the game files.

But then again, I feel people who reference Discord with this line of reasoning are being intellectually dishonest as you know what they are referring to.

Obviously there are also people fishing for them to take a stance on Discord. And there is the obviously waiting GOTCHA moment when they do that in regards to ACT callouts and if they ban someone for that.

Discord reads your system memory to see what games you're playing, including FFXIV. It also has an overlay that integrates with the game to show who's talking.

Pretty sure Discord technically does fall under their definition of "Third Party Tool," just that they obviously have no desire to dish out punishments for using it. It does illustrate their definition is kinda bad though. The vague definition is only for their benefit. Not ours.
