Change leaderboard visibility of your paid reaction on a specific channel post (Layer 198 API).
AI agents use telegram-toggle-paid-reaction-privacy to create or update resources in MCP-Telegram — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your MCP-Telegram environment.
This tool modifies a privacy/visibility setting for an existing paid reaction on a post. It changes a configuration (leaderboard visibility) rather than moving money or making a new financial transaction. The paid reaction itself already exists; this merely toggles whether your identity appears on the leaderboard. It is reversible (can be toggled back), placing it in Write rather than Financial or Destructive.
