AI agents call search_by_date to retrieve information from Telegram MCP Complete without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries messages filtered by date range. It has no side effects—it does not create, modify, delete, or execute external operations. It is a pure read operation that fits the 'Read' category. The blast radius of misuse is minimal, as it only exposes existing message data the account already has access to.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_by_date' and description '按日期搜索消息' (search messages by date) indicate message retrieval functionality. The verb 'search' and '搜索' (search) are query operations with no modification or deletion.
