AI agents call telegram-get-megagroup-stats to retrieve information from MCP-Telegram without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata and analytics about a supergroup without causing side effects. While it requires admin privileges and thus could only be called in certain contexts, the operation itself is read-only.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Get[s] supergroup statistics' — it retrieves aggregate data (members, messages count, viewers, top users) without modifying or deleting anything.

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-megagroup-stats:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"telegram-get-megagroup-stats": {}
}
} telegram-get-megagroup-stats is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
