## About Telegram with LuumenAI

Connect the Telegram bot your team already uses for on-call chatter. Luumen reads chat details, member roles, and recent history to work out where a message belongs and whether the bot can post there. Sending, editing, forwarding, and deleting messages run as previewed steps you approve first. Auth is a bot API key.

## Example tools

Read-only (7 in total):

- `TELEGRAM_GET_CHAT` — Get up to date information about the chat (current name of the user for one-on-one conversations, current username of a user, group or channel, etc.).
- `TELEGRAM_GET_CHAT_ADMINISTRATORS` — Get a list of administrators in a chat.
- `TELEGRAM_GET_CHAT_HISTORY` — Get chat history messages via the getUpdates polling method, filtered by chat_id.
- `TELEGRAM_GET_CHAT_MEMBER` — Get a chat member's status/role (including the bot itself) to preflight permissions and troubleshoot 403/empty-history issues.
- `TELEGRAM_GET_CHAT_MEMBERS_COUNT` — Get the number of members in a chat.

Write and destructive (11 in total, subject to configured approval policy):

- `TELEGRAM_ANSWER_CALLBACK_QUERY` — Use this method to send answers to callback queries sent from inline keyboards.
