Every slash command with what it does: all commands.

Is it free?: Yes. Invite the bot and connect your server, no payment needed. Only if you open a shop does the bot keep 5 % of what you sell. Want to help? wardogsbot.com/support
Do I need Warcon?: No. Warcon is the easiest way, but you can connect directly with RCON, through the WarDogs agent, or add a server for its status only.
Can my staff use it without seeing our keys?: Yes. Staff only see what their role allows, never the API key or RCON password.
Where do I ask for help?: Use /help in Discord, press Ctrl+K in the dashboard, or ask the assistant in the dashboard (bottom right).
