Why telegram-delete-stories needs a policy

The tool permanently removes user-created content (stories) without possibility of recovery. Although the impact is limited to the user's own stories (not affecting others' data or systems), the irreversible nature of deletion and the requirement for explicit confirmation classify this as Destructive rather than Write.

From the tool's definition 'Delete one or more of your own stories. This action is irreversible and requires confirm:true.' - the description explicitly states the action is irreversible, which is the defining characteristic of destructive operations.

POLICY

How to control telegram-delete-stories

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP-Telegram, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for telegram-delete-stories:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "telegram-delete-stories"
  ]
}

telegram-delete-stories disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register MCP-Telegram — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
