THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why telegram-convert-star-gift needs a policy

This tool irreversibly converts a Telegram Star Gift into Stars currency, which is a financial transaction involving Telegram's virtual currency. It is explicitly non-reversible, moves financial value (Stars), and permanently removes the gift from the profile. Financial category takes precedence, with high severity due to the irreversible nature and financial impact on the user's account.

From the tool's definition 'Convert a received Star Gift into Stars (non-reversible)' and 'its conversion value is added to your Stars balance'

  "version": "1",

  "tools": {
    "telegram-convert-star-gift": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
