AI agents use join_chat 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.
This tool creates a new membership relationship by joining a group or channel. It is a reversible write action (you can leave later), not destructive or financial. Misuse could cause an AI agent to join unwanted or malicious groups on behalf of the user.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access join_chat gives an agent:
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 join_chat:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"join_chat": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "join_chat_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}join_chat 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.
