Description
tlgr is an open-source CLI that gives you and your AI agents full control of your real Telegram account from the terminal. 678 operations cover 99.5% of Telegram's features, every command speaks JSON, and a background daemon pushes live events to your agent through signed webhooks. Agents can read and draft replies while you keep the send button.

Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping MTProto client libraries (like GramJS or Telethon) into a CLI with JSON output is straightforward, comprehensively implementing and maintaining 678 operations covering 99.5% of Telegram's MTProto API along with a robust background daemon and webhook infrastructure requires substantial engineering effort.
What it would actually take: A complete system uses Go or Rust wrapping a robust MTProto implementation, with an event-driven daemon handling long-polling/updates and dispatching signed webhooks. The hard part is managing Telegram's stateful session protocols, two-factor auth, rate limiting (flood waits), and covering the massive MTProto schema without breaking across API layer changes. It requires strong protocol engineering and persistent process management.
