Description
Manage and configure Telegram bots for OpenClaw. Use when setting up Telegram integrations, troubleshooting bot connectivity, configuring bot tokens, or managing Telegram channel/webhook settings. Handles bot registration, token validation, and network connectivity checks for api.telegram.org.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and implements a standard Telegram setup workflow, but before installing or running it: 1) Review and trust the source — the script will write the bot token into /home/openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json (plaintext) and restart the OpenClaw gateway. 2) Back up your OpenClaw config (the script attempts a backup, but verify it) and run in a staging environment first. 3) Provide the token via an environment variable or interactively; avoid pasting tokens into shared logs or VCS. 4) Confirm the machine has the openclaw CLI and Python requests available; the scripts will call openclaw to restart the gateway. 5) After testing, consider rotating the bot token if you exposed it during setup. If you need lower privilege testing, run test_bot.py with a test bot token in a non-production environment to verify connectivity first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: telegram-bot-manager Version: 1.0.0 The skill is classified as suspicious due to its broad permissions and high-risk capabilities, even though they are plausibly needed for its stated purpose. Key indicators include `scripts/setup_bot.py` modifying core OpenClaw configuration (`openclaw.json`) and restarting the gateway, and multiple files (`SKILL.md`, `scripts/setup_bot.py`, `scripts/test_bot.py`) performing external network calls to `api.telegram.org` using sensitive bot tokens. Additionally, `references/WEBHOOK_SETUP.md` provides instructions for highly privileged system operations like installing software (`sudo apt install`), configuring firewalls (`sudo ufw`), and setting up Nginx, which represent significant capabilities if an AI agent were to interpret and execute them.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description, SKILL.md, README, and scripts all align: the skill sets up Telegram bots, validates tokens, tests connectivity, and configures OpenClaw. Required files and paths (/home/openclaw/.openclaw/*) are consistent with modifying OpenClaw configuration for a Telegram plugin.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md and scripts instruct the agent/operator to collect a bot token, run network tests (curl/nslookup), update the OpenClaw configuration file, and restart the OpenClaw gateway. These actions are in-scope for configuring a Telegram integration, but they do include writing a plaintext token into a system config and restarting a service — users should be aware of those side effects before running the scripts.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and the package is instruction-and-script only. Provided packaging script only zips the skill contents. No remote downloads, no external installers, and no code-obfuscation or unusual install behavior were found.
Credentials
The skill does not declare required environment variables but the scripts accept TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN (or prompt for a token). That is proportionate to the stated purpose. No unrelated credentials or broad secrets are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The scripts modify OpenClaw's configuration file at /home/openclaw/.openclaw/openclaw.json and attempt to restart the OpenClaw gateway (openclaw gateway restart). This is expected for configuration tasks but is a privileged operation on the host — the skill does not set always:true and does not persist beyond updating the OpenClaw config.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install telegram-bot-manager
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /telegram-bot-manager
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
