Telegram channel: tool call UI renders leak into chat
Resolved π¬ 3 comments Opened Mar 29, 2026 by whd-1999 Closed Apr 1, 2026
Description
When using --channels plugin:telegram@claude-plugins-official, the tool call UI (e.g. π§ ε·₯ε
· #1: Read with file path) is streamed to the Telegram chat as visible messages.
According to the plugin docs and instructions:
"The sender reads Telegram, not this session. Anything you want them to see must go through the reply tool β your transcript output never reaches their chat."
Only explicit reply tool calls should produce messages in Telegram, but tool call renderings are leaking through.
Steps to reproduce
- Install:
/plugin install telegram@claude-plugins-official - Configure and pair a Telegram bot
- Launch with
claude --channels plugin:telegram@claude-plugins-official - Send a message from Telegram that triggers tool use (e.g. a vault search)
- Observe tool call UI appearing in Telegram chat
Actual behavior
Tool call UI like this appears in Telegram:
π§ ε·₯ε
· #1: Read
ββββββββββ
C:\Users\...\memory\MEMORY.md
Expected behavior
Only messages sent via the reply tool should appear in Telegram. Tool call renderings should not be visible to the Telegram user.
Environment
- Plugin version: 0.0.4
- Platform: Windows 11
- Claude Code: latest
