Why telegram-search-sticker-sets needs a policy

This tool retrieves information about sticker sets through search functionality. It performs a query operation that does not create, modify, delete, or execute any changes to user data or system state. While the server operates as a userbot with broad access to Telegram, this specific tool is limited to searching and returning sticker set metadata, which is a benign read operation.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search[es] for sticker sets by name or keyword' and 'Returns matching sticker pack names' — these are read-only query operations with no side effects or data modification.

POLICY

How to control telegram-search-sticker-sets

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-search-sticker-sets:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "telegram-search-sticker-sets": {}
  }
}

telegram-search-sticker-sets 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.
