WHAT IT DOES

What message_action does on Telegram Bot

AI agents call message_action to permanently remove resources in Telegram Bot, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why message_action is rated Critical

An AI agent that decides to call message_action doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Telegram Bot is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs message_action 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 message_action, this is the rule to start with:

message_action Hidden

message_action is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Telegram Bot, apply this rule, and every message_action call is checked against it from then on.
