Summary

AI summary

New telegram-get-my-role command and enhanced telegram-get-chat-members now display user roles.

Full changelog

User Roles in Chat Members (#8)

Enhanced: telegram-get-chat-members

Now shows user roles alongside names. Uses raw channels.GetParticipants API for supergroups/channels.

Output example:

Alex (@overpod) (123456) [creator]
Bot Manager (@mgr) (789012) [admin]
John Doe (345678)
Spammer (901234) [banned]

Roles shown: [creator], [admin], [banned], [left]. Regular members have no tag.

Note: Basic groups (non-supergroups) don't expose role info via Telegram API — all members show as regular.

New: telegram-get-my-role

Check the current user's role in any chat. Useful for AI agents that need permission-aware behavior.

Parameters:

chatId — chat ID, @username, or display name

Output:

Role: admin
Chat: AI Team (-1001234567890)

Returns: creator, admin, member for groups/channels; user for private chats.

Use Case

AI agents (e.g. Mastra-based) that poll Telegram for unread messages can now filter by role — only respond in chats where the agent account is admin or creator, without hardcoding chat ID whitelists.
