What set_username does on Telegram MCP Complete

AI agents use set_username 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 set_username needs a policy

Setting a username modifies account information reversibly—the username can be changed again later. This is clearly a Write operation (creates/modifies data) rather than Read (no data retrieval), Execute (no code execution), Destructive (no irreversible deletion), or Financial (no money movement).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_username' with description '设置账号用户名' (Chinese: 'set account username') indicates modification of user account properties. This is a data modification operation that creates or updates account metadata.

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

How to control set_username

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_username:

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

set_username 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.
