Indexbrain + Telegram

CommunicationAPI key4 read, 8 writePro and Team

Telegram connects via a bot token from @BotFather — no background sync. The bot can only message users who have /started it first. Skills can read chat info/updates and send messages, photos, documents, and polls.

Every Telegram action

Each action is set independently to always allow, ask every time, or disabled. The mode below is the default before anyone changes anything.

Action	What it does	Type	Default
Answer callback querytelegram.answer_callback_query	Acknowledge an inline-keyboard button press. Telegram REQUIRES this for every callback_query — without it the user's client shows a loading spinner forever.	read	Always allow
Get chattelegram.get_chat	Get info about a Telegram chat (title, type, member count, description, pinned message). Use to validate a chat_id before sending — returns an error if the bot can't see the chat.	read	Always allow
Get metelegram.get_me	Return basic information about the authenticated Telegram bot (getMe).	read	Always allow
Get updatestelegram.get_updates	Long-polls for incoming Telegram messages/updates via getUpdates. Each update carries a chat_id — use that as the chat_id for telegram.send_message. Bots can ONLY message users who have already /started them.	read	Always allow

Every write stops for a human

Write actions are off entirely until an admin turns them on, and even then each one halts the run and asks before it happens. There is no auto-approve mode anywhere in the product, on any plan. Disabling an action goes further: it is never offered to the model, so it cannot be asked for.
