MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous Telegram tools

Execute · Medium wait_for_reply Wait for the next message in a chat Write · Medium messages_sendText Send a text message to a chat

2 of Telegram's 12 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Telegram

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

Rate limit write operations

{
  "messages_sendText": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "messages_sendtext_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "call_request": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "call_request_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 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 Telegram

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Telegram? +

The Telegram server has 1 write tools including messages_sendText. 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 Telegram.

How many tools does the Telegram MCP server expose? +

12 tools across 3 categories: Execute, Read, Write. 10 are read-only. 2 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Telegram? +

Register the 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.
