What call_mtproto does on Telegram Bot
AI agents call call_mtproto to retrieve information from Telegram Bot without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why call_mtproto is rated Low
Even though call_mtproto only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs call_mtproto safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Telegram Bot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For call_mtproto, this is the rule to start with:
call_mtproto is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Telegram Bot, apply this rule, and every call_mtproto call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about call_mtproto
Read-only allowlist: messages.getHistory (peer, limit?, offsetId?), messages.search (peer, q, limit?, offsetId?), bots.checkUsername (username). peer is a primitive username/me/self/decimal ID. Unknown fields, TL objects, nested requests, authentication and credential methods are rejected. Returns fixed safe fields only; requires explicit MTProto enablement and secure API/session configuration. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Telegram Bot MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Telegram Bot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for call_mtproto: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Telegram Bot. Nothing to install.
call_mtproto is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the call_mtproto rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for call_mtproto. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
call_mtproto is provided by the Telegram Bot MCP server (@cyuanxv/telegram-bot-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
