telegramDelete

Deletes one of the box's Telegram channels. Nothing more is sent to its chat.

  • Cost: Free. Signed by the box's agent over method DELETE, path /agent/v1/<address lowercased>/telegram/<id> and no body (the hash of no bytes). Or send an ARCGATE-KEY of the account the box is linked to, with no signature. Another account's key, or any key for a box that is not linked, does not apply to the box: the call is checked as if no key were sent, so it needs the signature. A key nobody holds is a 401 key_invalid. The key keeps working after the account has lapsed (its grace has ended).

  • Inputs: address and id (path).

  • Returns: deleted and the id. Messages stay in the box. The price of the channel is not refunded.

  • Errors:

    • 404 telegram_not_found: the box has no Telegram channel with that id. It was never made, was already deleted, or is another box's.

  • Next:

    • telegramCreate: make a new channel (paid).

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesThe Telegram channel's id: 22 base64url characters, as the create or the list returned it.
addressYesThe box's address: the agent's own address (an EOA or an EIP-7702 account), any letter case. The box is keyed by it, and a signed request must be signed by it.
agentSignatureNoThe agent's EIP-712 signature over this request, as the AGENT-SIGNATURE, AGENT-NONCE and AGENT-EXPIRY headers carry it over HTTP. Sign the typed data `AgentRequest` with fields `address` (the box), `method`, `path`, `bodyHash`, `nonce` and `expiry`, under the domain {name: "arcgate", version: "1"} with no chainId (a wallet that can only sign with one, such as Circle's, may add the chainId of the chain this deployment serves, 5042 on Arc mainnet, and no other). The `path` is the request path with every parameter filled in and the address lowercased. The `bodyHash` is the keccak256 of the canonical JSON of the body you send (sorted keys, no whitespace), or of no bytes when there is none. Omitting it is a 401 signature_required unless an ARCGATE-KEY of the account the box is linked to is sent (over MCP, on the connection), and it is never a charge: the call is free.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations exist, so the description carries the full burden and does so: cost is free, two alternative auth mechanisms are spelled out (signed DELETE over a named method/path with no body, or an ARCGATE-KEY scoped to the linked account), key-invalidity and lapsed-grace behavior are disclosed, and the irreversibility ('the price of the channel is not refunded') and residual state ('Messages stay in the box') are explicit.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Front-loads the one-line purpose, then organizes cost, inputs, returns, errors, and next steps as labeled bullets – every block is scannable. It is dense and somewhat long, but the density is justified by a non-obvious dual-auth scheme that would otherwise be misfired.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no output schema and no annotations, the description still supplies the return shape ('deleted' and the id), the single relevant error (404 telegram_not_found with its three causes), the auth preconditions, and the follow-up tool. Nothing needed to invoke it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already explains the address, id pattern, and the full agentSignature structure. The description's 'Inputs: address and id (path)' only restates what the schema says, so baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Deletes one of the box's Telegram channels') and immediately bounds the effect ('Nothing more is sent to its chat'). An agent can distinguish it from telegramCreate and telegramList without opening any schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives clear operational context: it is free, which auth path applies, and routes forward with 'Next: telegramCreate: make a new channel (paid)'. It does not, however, contrast deletion with the sibling telegramLink (unlinking/keeping the chat), which is the closest ambiguous alternative for a 'remove a Telegram thing' intent.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
