WHAT IT DOES

What telegram-logout does on MCP-Telegram

AI agents call telegram-logout to permanently remove resources in MCP-Telegram — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

THE RISK

Why telegram-logout needs a policy

This tool irreversibly revokes the active Telegram session on the server side and deletes the local session file. These actions cannot be undone — the session is permanently removed from Telegram's device list and the local credentials are destroyed, requiring full re-authentication. This qualifies as Destructive due to the permanent, irreversible nature of session revocation and file deletion.

From the tool's definition Revokes the session on Telegram servers (removes it from Settings → Devices), deletes the local session file, and disconnects

POLICY

How to control telegram-logout

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-logout:

policy.json

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

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

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
