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.

Security

Grade A, and why

telegram-bot-manager scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/package_skill.py, scripts/setup_bot.py, scripts/test_bot.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Telegram Bot Manager

Quick Start

Setup a new Telegram bot

  1. Create bot via BotFather

    • Message @BotFather on Telegram
    • Use /newbot command
    • Follow prompts for bot name and username
    • Copy the bot token (format: 1234567890:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrsTUVwxyz)
  2. Configure in OpenClaw

    • Add token to OpenClaw config
    • Enable Telegram plugin
    • Set up pairing mode for DM access

Validate bot configuration

# Test Telegram API connectivity
curl -I https://api.telegram.org

# Check bot token validity
curl -s "https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_TOKEN>/getMe"

Common Workflows

Troubleshooting connectivity issues

When api.telegram.org is unreachable:

  1. Check network access

    curl -I -m 10 https://api.telegram.org
    
  2. Verify DNS resolution

    nslookup api.telegram.org
    
  3. Test alternative endpoints

    curl -I https://telegram.org
    

Configuring OpenClaw Telegram integration

See OPENCLAW_CONFIG.md for detailed configuration steps.

Bot token security

  • Never commit bot tokens to version control
  • Store tokens in environment variables or secure config files
  • Rotate tokens if compromised
  • Use different tokens for different environments (dev/prod)

Bot Commands Reference

Common Telegram bot commands for BotFather:

  • /newbot - Create a new bot
  • /mybots - Manage your bots
  • /setdescription - Set bot description
  • /setabouttext - Set about text
  • /setuserpic - Set bot profile picture
  • /setcommands - Set bot commands
  • /token - Generate new token
  • /revoke - Revoke current token
  • /setprivacy - Configure privacy mode

Webhook vs Polling

Webhook (Recommended for production)

  • Bot receives updates via HTTP POST
  • Requires public HTTPS endpoint
  • More efficient for high-volume bots

Polling (Good for development)

  • Bot continuously checks for updates
  • Simpler setup, no public endpoint needed
  • Easier to debug locally

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
