They'll spam messages everywhere, mass delete channels, kick or ban members, create a bunch of junk channels, change server settings, delete roles, and basically make the server completely unusable. The goal is to cause as much chaos as possible in the shortest time.

Here's the thing though: they absolutely require proper permissions to work. If you're not an admin or don't have elevated permissions like "Manage Server," "Manage Channels," "Ban Members," etc., the bot literally can't do anything. It's bound by Discord's permission system just like any other bot. So no, some random member can't just run a nuke bot and destroy a server they're in. They'd need someone with admin rights to actually add the bot and give it those permissions in the first place, which is why most nuke attacks happen when a trusted admin account gets compromised or when someone with permissions goes rogue.
