What is telegram-setup?

A setup command for connecting Telegram bot notifications and two-way communication to Claude Code, a coding assistant.

It helps configure the connection without setting up the Telegram bot workflow manually.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00015	$0.00892
Opus 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00357
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00178
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00089

Security

Grade C, and why

telegram-setup scanned grade C with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks the agent to reveal its instructionsmediumSystem prompt leakage

Directions to print, repeat or translate the system prompt extract configuration the operator did not intend to expose.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
