AI agents call telegram-get-my-boosts 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 information about the user's Telegram boosts—a read-only operation with no side effects. However, severity is elevated to 'high' rather than 'low' because the MCP server operates as a userbot with full access to personal Telegram data (chats, contacts, message history). An AI agent misusing this tool could enumerate and expose sensitive boost-related account information.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'telegram-get-my-boosts' and description 'List the user' indicate a retrieval/query operation. The incomplete description ('List the user') suggests fetching data about the user's boosts without modification.

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