    - Irreversible Action
 
 3. **Telegram Approval** (optional) -- when a non-owner's tool call is flagged:
-   - Sends a notification to the owner on Telegram with tool details and risk info
-   - Owner replies `approve safety-N` or `deny safety-N`
+   - Sends a notification to the owner on Telegram with inline keyboard buttons (Approve / Deny)
+   - Owner can also reply with text: `approve safety-N` or `deny safety-N`
    - Decision is cached for future similar requests from the same requester
    - Unanswered approvals expire after 5 minutes
+   - Requires `channels.telegram.capabilities.inlineButtons` set to `all` (or allowlist)
