Get information about the configured bot (name, username, capabilities).
AI agents call telegram_get_bot_info to retrieve information from Agent Telegram without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves static bot metadata without modifying state, triggering actions, or exposing sensitive user data at scale. The information returned (bot name, username, capabilities) is configuration metadata rather than user-owned data. Misuse risk is minimal since an agent learning bot capabilities does not create operational harm.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get information about the configured bot (name, username, capabilities)' — a purely informational query with no side effects. The verb 'Get' and the nature of the data (bot metadata) confirm read-only retrieval.
