claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Telegram plugin: add disable_link_preview parameter to reply tool [1 participants]

TL;DR

To fix the issue with link previews in the Telegram plugin's reply tool, add a disable_link_preview boolean parameter to the tool schema and pass link_preview_options to bot.api.sendMessage() when the parameter is true.

Guidance

• Modify the reply tool schema in server.ts to include a disable_link_preview boolean parameter.
• Update the reply handler to check the disable_link_preview parameter and pass link_preview_options to bot.api.sendMessage() accordingly.
• Verify the fix by sending a message with a URL and checking if the link preview card is disabled when disable_link_preview is true.
• Consider patching the local cached copy of the plugin with the suggested implementation until an official update is available.

Example

// In server.ts, reply tool schema:
disable_link_preview: {
  type: 'boolean',
  description: 'Disable link preview cards in the message. Default: false.',
},

// In the reply handler:
const disableLinkPreview = Boolean(args.disable_link_preview)
// ... in sendMessage options:
...(disableLinkPreview ? { link_preview_options: { is_disabled: true } } : {}),

Notes

The suggested implementation is a one-line change in the tool schema and one line in the handler, making it a relatively simple fix.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by patching the local cached copy of the plugin with the suggested implementation, as it is a simple and effective solution to disable link previews in the reply tool.
