What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• telegram_get_me

  Return the bot's own profile (id, name, username, group-join and inline settings). Use it to confirm the token works. Bot API: getMe.

• telegram_get_chat

  Get the details of a chat the bot belongs to: type, title, username, description, pinned message, permissions. Bot API: getChat.

• telegram_get_chat_member_count

  Get the number of members in a chat. Bot API: getChatMemberCount.

• telegram_get_chat_member

  Get one member of a chat: status (creator, administrator, member, restricted, left, kicked) and rights. Bot API: getChatMember.

• telegram_get_chat_administrators

  List the administrators of a group or channel (not other bots' hidden admins). Bot API: getChatAdministrators.

• telegram_get_updates

  Read the messages and events that users sent to the bot and that wait in Telegram's queue (short poll, no wait). Without offset the same updates return again. A positive offset above an update_id, or a negative offset, deletes older updates in Telegram (this cannot be undone). al

• telegram_send_message

  WRITE: send a text message from the bot to a chat. The message is visible to real people and cannot be unsent except with telegram_delete_message. Bot API: sendMessage.

• telegram_edit_message_text

  WRITE: change the text of a message that the bot sent. This replaces the old text. Bot API: editMessageText.

• telegram_delete_message

  WRITE: delete a message. This cannot be undone. A bot can delete its own messages and incoming private-chat messages. In groups it needs the delete-messages admin right for other messages. Telegram allows deletion only for messages up to 48 hours old in most cases. Bot API: delet
