Get information about a Telegram chat
AI agents call get_chat_info to retrieve information from Telegram Bot MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves metadata about a Telegram chat without altering any data, executing code, or triggering external operations. It is a straightforward read operation. Severity is low because chat metadata disclosure has minimal direct impact, though context (e.g., sensitive group names) could elevate risk in specific scenarios. Confidence is high given the clear read-only semantics.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_chat_info' and description states 'Get information about a Telegram chat' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.
