Why telegram-set-business-location needs a policy

This tool modifies user account data (business location information) in a way that can be undone. While it affects business account information, it does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or trigger external operations.

From the tool's definition The tool description explicitly states it 'Set[s] Telegram Business physical location' and includes an option to 'remove' the location via clear=true parameter. These are reversible modifications to account metadata.

POLICY

How to control telegram-set-business-location

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-set-business-location:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "telegram-set-business-location": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "telegram-set-business-location_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

telegram-set-business-location stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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.
