Why telegram-get-drafts needs a policy

While this is fundamentally a Read operation (querying existing data), the severity is elevated to 'high' because: (1) the server operates as a userbot with full access to the user's personal Telegram account, (2) drafts may contain sensitive, private, or unfinished communications intended to remain hidden, and (3) an AI agent with access to this tool could exfiltrate private drafts without the user's explicit…

From the tool's definition 'Get all saved message drafts across chats' — retrieves draft messages without modifying or deleting them. This is a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control telegram-get-drafts

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-get-drafts:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "telegram-get-drafts": {}
  }
}

telegram-get-drafts is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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.
