WHAT IT DOES

What demote_admin does on Claudegram

AI agents use demote_admin to create or update resources in Claudegram — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Claudegram environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why demote_admin needs a policy

This tool removes admin privileges from a user in a Telegram chat/group. It modifies user permissions reversibly (admin rights can be re-granted), placing it in the Write category. However, the blast radius is high because demoting an admin in a group can disrupt group management, lock out legitimate admins, and cause significant operational harm if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Снять права админа (все флаги в False) — 'demote admin (all flags to False)'

demote_admin Rate-limited

demote_admin 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.
