WHAT IT DOES

`channel`	string	Yes	Channel where the group exists (e.g., 'telegram', 'whatsapp')
`chat_id`	integer	Yes	ID of the group/channel where the member will be promoted

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why group_promote_admin is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies permissions/roles within a group (promoting a member to admin status), which constitutes a Write operation—it changes group metadata reversibly. While it grants elevated access, the promotion itself can be undone (member can be demoted).

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Promote a member to admin in an existing group' and 'Gives the specified member admin status in the group'. This modifies group permissions and membership roles, which are reversible administrative changes.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs group_promote_admin safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Dialogbrain, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For group_promote_admin, this is the rule to start with:

group_promote_admin Rate-limited

group_promote_admin stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
