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 for bots you control. Store TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN as a secret, avoid pasting expanded token URLs into shared logs or terminals, rotate the token if exposed, and be careful with update logs, forwarded messages, location data, and moderation commands because they can affect real users and reveal personal information.
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 match the stated purpose of building and managing Telegram bots: sending messages, receiving updates, forwarding messages, sending/requesting locations, and moderation actions through the Telegram Bot API.
Instruction Scope
The skill includes powerful Telegram actions such as reading updates, forwarding messages, sharing/requesting location, and banning or unbanning chat members; these are expected for bot administration but should be user-directed and authorized.
Install Mechanism
The supplied telemetry describes transparent dependencies on curl, jq, and the TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN environment variable, with no evidence of hidden installers, persistence, obfuscation, or unrelated execution.
Credentials
Network access to api.telegram.org and use of a Telegram bot token are proportionate to the purpose, but the token grants control of the bot and update payloads can contain user content and metadata.
Persistence & Privilege
No artifact-backed evidence indicates background persistence, privilege escalation, local credential harvesting, or storage beyond normal command examples for interacting with Telegram.
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
