AI agents call get_trail_stats to retrieve information from Telegram Api without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool reads and queries existing log data to produce summary statistics. It performs no data modification, deletion, code execution, or financial operations. The 'Get' verb and statistic-aggregation nature confirm it is a read-only operation with minimal security risk — only information disclosure potential, which is low severity in most contexts.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_trail_stats' and description states 'Get summary statistics from the TRAIL content log' — a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Telegram Api, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_trail_stats:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_trail_stats": {}
}
}get_trail_stats is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_trail_stats. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_trail_stats is provided by the Telegram Api MCP server (timoncool/telegram-api-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Telegram Api, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
