Per connected Telegram account, shared by every AI app and API key that uses it. The same tools work on every network: each account keeps its own limits.

Files in messages: one image (JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 8 MB) or one document (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, TXT or CSV, up to 15 MB) per message. Your AI sees images people send (up to 3.75 MB) and reads PDF, Word, Excel, TXT and CSV files as text (up to 15 MB).Daily limits reset at 00:00 UTC, weekly ones on Monday 00:00 UTC.

Safety limits

What keeps your Telegram account in good standing. They apply across every AI app and API key on this account, and you can’t turn them off.

Human pace
10–20 s
Random gap between profile views, searches, messages, new conversations, invitations and posts, across every app and key.
Account-wide cap
10 / min
At most 10 calls a minute per account in total, reads aside, on top of each action’s own per-minute cap.
Cooldown on pushback
5 min
After a rate-limit answer the account rests at least 5 minutes, 30 when Telegram itself asked. Calls meanwhile get the time left.
Cached reads are free
1 h
Conversations and profiles are cached and cost nothing. fresh: true forces a live read.
New conversations
10 / day
Cold chats are what gets accounts restricted, so new conversations stay few. Replies in existing chats aren’t affected.
Resets
00:00 UTC
Daily limits reset at midnight UTC, weekly ones on Monday.

When a limit is hit

Nothing is queued or retried behind your back: the tool answers with an error your AI app can read, explain and retry on time.

gapToo soon after the last action. Wait retry_after_seconds.
limitThe daily or weekly limit is used up. Says when it resets.
cooldownTelegram pushed back; the account is resting.
permissionThis app wasn’t allowed to do that. Reconnect and allow it.
Example refusalisError
{
  "error": "Telegram actions are spaced 10–20 s apart, at random, to look human. Wait 10s.",
  "code": "gap",
  "retry_after_seconds": 10
}

Tools

Exactly what your AI app receives from tools/list. Write tools send or change something on your account: good assistants show you the text before sending.

Inbox8
list_chatsList conversations · ReadsReads · 3,000/dayRead

Conversations across every connected inbox (LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Instagram Business, Facebook Messenger), merged and sorted most recent first; account or provider narrows it. Use unread=true to triage. Each item has chat_id, its account_id and provider (pass account_id as account to get_messages, send_message and the other conversation tools), and person_id for 1-to-1 chats. Facebook: page_id lists the inbox of one of a personal account's Pages (facebook_list_pages); requests=true the message requests. Accounts that can't be read right now are listed in skipped, with what to do.

get_messagesRead a conversation · ReadsReads · 3,000/dayRead

Messages in one conversation (chat_id from list_chats), most recent first. 'from' is 'me' (the account owner, or the Page in a Facebook Page's chat) or 'them'; message_id values work with react. The 3 most recent images on the page come with the result for you to see (their attachments say shown_below: true); open any other, or read a document's text (PDF, Word, Excel…), with get_attachment. Every attachment has a url the user can open or download for 24 hours. Instagram Business: without cursor, reply_window says whether a reply can go out (open, user_written_only or closed). Facebook personal chats are end-to-end encrypted: older messages show only if the user unlocked their history when connecting.

get_attachmentOpen an image or document from a message · ReadsReads · 3,000/dayRead

Opens a file someone sent or received in a conversation (chat_id, message_id and attachments[].attachment_id from get_messages). An image (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, at most 3.75 MB) is shown to you, so you can see and describe it; get_messages already shows you a page's most recent images (shown_below: true): use this for the others. A document (PDF, Word .docx, Excel, TXT or CSV, at most 15 MB) comes back as its text, 50,000 characters at a time: next_offset says where to go on with offset. Scanned PDFs have no text. Videos, voice notes and PowerPoint files can't be opened: give the user the attachment's url. LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram and Facebook; Instagram Business and Facebook Pages messages give the file's link in get_messages instead.

Message someone you have no conversation with yet.

New conversations have low daily limits (WhatsApp 10, Telegram 10, Instagram 10, Facebook 10), and networks restrict accounts that message strangers: WhatsApp bans new accounts after 2–3 cold messages; on Instagram and Facebook, people who don't follow or aren't friends get it as a message request. Only message people who expect it. Confirm the exact recipient and final text with the user before calling this. One file can go with the text: image_url (an https link to an image), file_url (an https link to a document) or media_id (from upload_media, for an image or a document the user has on their device or attached in the chat).
