tldr: having a less serve permission for detecting when automod are triggered such as view audit logs
I've noticed that detecting when an automod rule is triggered (for example, in discord.py using on_automod_action) forces the bot to have the Manage Server permission.
This is a dangerous permission which causes servers to not want to add the bot. IMO, a bot having Audit Log permissions should be sufficient to detect automod actions being triggered. A few weeks ago, there was a server that didn't want to add one of my bots which detected automod violations just because of it requiring manage server since it is a very high-level permission.
