Why set_slow_mode needs a policy

This tool modifies group configuration settings (slow mode parameters) which affects how group members can interact, but the changes are reversible by adjusting the setting back to normal. It is a Write operation rather than Execute because it sets a specific parameter rather than running arbitrary code or commands. It is not Destructive because the setting can be easily reverted.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_slow_mode' and description indicating it 'sets group slow mode (user message sending interval)' - this modifies group settings by adjusting message sending intervals.

How to control set_slow_mode

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 set_slow_mode:

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

set_slow_mode 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.
