Why list_accounts needs a policy

This tool queries and retrieves account metadata without creating, modifying, or deleting data. It has no side effects beyond information disclosure. While account information could be sensitive in a multi-account Telegram context, the read-only nature and internal visibility scope (listing existing accounts already under the agent's control) makes this a standard Read operation with low blast radius if misused.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_accounts' and description indicating it 'retrieves...list and status information' (usernames, user IDs, online status, usage counts) with no modification or deletion capability.

How to control list_accounts

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 list_accounts:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_accounts": {}
  }
}

list_accounts is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  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.
