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 an agent help operate a Telegram bot. Use a dedicated bot token, keep it out of chats, logs, screenshots, and repositories, test commands in a private chat first, verify chat/user/message IDs before write or moderation actions, and configure webhooks only to HTTPS endpoints you control.
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
Purpose & Capability
The documented capabilities, including sending messages, handling updates, configuring webhooks, and moderating chats, are consistent with building and managing Telegram bots.
Instruction Scope
The skill is instruction-only and uses user-filled curl examples with placeholders, but some examples perform live write or moderation actions such as setting commands, banning users, deleting messages, and changing webhooks.
Install Mechanism
There are no executable package files or install scripts; metadata discloses only curl, jq, and TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN as requirements.
Credentials
A Telegram bot token is necessary and proportionate for this purpose, but it is a bearer secret that allows actions as the bot within its Telegram permissions.
Persistence & Privilege
No local persistence or privilege escalation is shown; webhook settings and bot/chat changes may persist remotely in Telegram until changed or revoked.
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
/telegram-bot - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
