What forward_message does on Telegram MCP Complete

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

Why forward_message needs a policy

Forwarding messages is a write operation that replicates message content to another chat destination. It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. While it could facilitate spam or harassment if misused by an AI agent across multiple accounts (especially given the 'multi-account' capability context), the action itself is reversible and creates data rather than destroying it.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'forward_message' with description '转发消息到另一个聊天' (forward message to another chat). This creates a copy of a message in a different location, which is a reversible modification action.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access forward_message gives an agent:

How to control forward_message

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 forward_message:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "forward_message": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "forward_message_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

forward_message 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.
