Description
Telegram Bot API integration with managed authentication. Send messages, manage chats, handle updates, and interact with users through your Telegram bot. Use...
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you want an agent to operate your Telegram bot through Maton. Keep MATON_API_KEY private, avoid sharing terminal output that prints it, use Maton-Connection when multiple bots are connected, and approve sends, deletes, webhook changes, command changes, or connection changes only after checking the exact target and effect.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: telegram-api
Version: 1.0.3
The skill provides a legitimate integration for the Telegram Bot API using a managed proxy service (maton.ai). It includes well-documented instructions for authentication via the MATON_API_KEY, connection management, and standard Telegram methods (sendMessage, getUpdates, etc.) with explicit reminders for the agent to seek user approval for write operations. No malicious patterns, obfuscation, or unauthorized data exfiltration were detected in SKILL.md or the provided code snippets.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill exposes broad Telegram Bot API capabilities, including reading updates, sending messages, editing and deleting messages, changing webhooks, bot commands, and managing Maton connections; these capabilities match the stated Telegram bot integration purpose.
Instruction Scope
The instructions include state-changing examples and rely on the agent to obtain explicit user approval before create, update, or delete calls; this is disclosed but not technically enforced by the artifact.
Install Mechanism
The artifact is a single SKILL.md file with no executable installer, dependencies, hidden scripts, obfuscation, or install-time behavior.
Credentials
Network access and MATON_API_KEY are required and proportionate for a managed Telegram API gateway, but bot data and actions flow through api.maton.ai.
Persistence & Privilege
Persistent Maton connections and Telegram webhook configuration are documented, including deletion paths; these are expected for bot operation and are not hidden.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install telegram-api - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/telegram-api - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
