MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous MCP-Telegram tools

Financial · High telegram-change-stars-subscription This tool directly manages financial subscriptions — canceling or restoring recurring Telegram Stars payments. Financial · High telegram-convert-star-gift This tool irreversibly converts a Telegram Star Gift into Stars currency, which is a financial transaction involving Telegram's virtual currency. Financial · High telegram-send-paid-reaction This tool spends Telegram Stars (a virtual currency with real monetary value) from the user's balance. Destructive · High telegram-clear-drafts This tool permanently deletes message drafts, which are user-generated data that cannot be recovered once removed.

103 of MCP-Telegram's 181 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control MCP-Telegram

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP-Telegram, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Block financial tools by default

{
  "telegram-change-stars-subscription": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Financial tools should be explicitly enabled per use case, not open by default.

Deny destructive operations

{
  "telegram-clear-drafts": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "telegram-react-to-story": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "telegram-react-to-story_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "telegram-download-media": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "telegram-download-media_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Create a free account and register MCP-Telegram — nothing to install.
Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about MCP-Telegram

Can an AI agent move money through the MCP-Telegram MCP server? +

Yes. The MCP-Telegram server exposes 3 financial tools including telegram-change-stars-subscription, telegram-convert-star-gift, telegram-send-paid-reaction. Without a policy, an autonomous agent can call these with no spend caps, no rate limits, and no approval flow. PolicyLayer lets you block financial tools by default, require human approval, or set per-tool rate limits — enforced on every call.

Can an AI agent delete data through the MCP-Telegram MCP server? +

Yes. The MCP-Telegram server exposes 17 destructive tools including telegram-clear-drafts, telegram-clear-recent-emoji-statuses, telegram-close-poll. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through MCP-Telegram? +

The MCP-Telegram server has 79 write tools including telegram-react-to-story, telegram-remove-admin, telegram-toggle-story-pinned-to-top. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach MCP-Telegram.

How many tools does the MCP-Telegram MCP server expose? +

181 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 78 are read-only. 103 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on MCP-Telegram? +

Register the MCP-Telegram MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.
