AskUserQuestion tool not surfaced to Telegram plugin users

Bug

When Claude Code is connected to Telegram via the plugin:telegram:telegram MCP server, the AskUserQuestion tool renders only in the CLI terminal session, not in the Telegram chat. The Telegram user never sees the interactive prompt and cannot respond from their end.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Connect a Telegram bot via the Telegram MCP plugin
  2. Receive a message from a Telegram user
  3. Use AskUserQuestion to ask them something
  4. The question appears in the terminal but not in Telegram — the Telegram user has no visibility of it

Expected behaviour

The question should be relayed to the Telegram chat, or at minimum Claude should be warned that AskUserQuestion is unavailable in remote/plugin contexts so it can fall back to a plain text reply via the plugin's reply tool.

Workaround

Use the Telegram reply tool with plain text questions instead of AskUserQuestion.
