This tool permanently deletes channels or groups, which cannot be undone and results in loss of all associated data, messages, and community. This is a destructive action with significant blast radius if invoked by an AI agent without proper authorization or intent verification.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_channel' combined with description '删除频道/群组' (delete channel/group in Chinese) indicates irreversible deletion of channels or groups.

How to control delete_channel

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Telegram MCP Complete, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for delete_channel:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_channel"
  ]
}

delete_channel disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Telegram MCP Complete — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
