Description
Build and manage Telegram bots via the Telegram Bot API. Create bots, send messages, handle webhooks, manage groups and channels.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you intend to let the agent operate a Telegram bot with the supplied bot token. Confirm chat IDs, user IDs, files, locations, and moderation actions before running commands, avoid sending secrets or unnecessary personal data through Telegram, and harden the echo-bot sample before using it in production.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: telegram-bot
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for 'telegram-bot' is benign. It provides standard `curl` commands and a bash script to interact with the legitimate Telegram Bot API (api.telegram.org). The skill transparently requires `jq`, `curl`, and the `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` environment variable, which are all necessary for its stated purpose. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, obfuscation, or prompt injection attempts against the AI agent. All actions are clearly aligned with building and managing Telegram bots.
Capability Assessment
Credentials
Network access to api.telegram.org and use of a Telegram bot token are proportionate to the skill, but the skill can transmit user-selected text, media, documents, chat identifiers, and location data to Telegram.
Install Mechanism
No installer, dependency download, hidden script, or package execution is present; the metadata only declares required local tools curl and jq plus the TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN environment variable.
Instruction Scope
The commands are explicit curl examples using placeholders such as CHAT_ID and USER_ID, but they include sensitive operations like sending files/location, deleting messages, banning users, forwarding messages, and a long-running polling example.
Persistence & Privilege
There is no local persistence or privilege escalation, but setWebhook changes persistent Telegram-side bot configuration and the echo-bot example is a foreground infinite polling loop if copied and run.
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is building and managing Telegram bots, and the artifact consistently provides Telegram Bot API examples for bot info, messaging, media, webhooks, chat management, and callbacks.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install telegram-bot - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
