Telegram channel: tool call UI renders leak into chat

Description

When using --channels plugin:telegram@claude-plugins-official, the tool call UI (e.g. πŸ”§ 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

  1. Install: /plugin install telegram@claude-plugins-official
  2. Configure and pair a Telegram bot
  3. Launch with claude --channels plugin:telegram@claude-plugins-official
  4. Send a message from Telegram that triggers tool use (e.g. a vault search)
  5. Observe tool call UI appearing in Telegram chat

Actual behavior

Tool call UI like this appears in Telegram:

πŸ”§ ε·₯ε…· #1: Read
β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
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
