Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: 33.0.6
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Unless I'm mistaken the only way to probe the API for a list of a bot's enabled features is with an admin password. There should be a way to allow bots to poll nextcloud what features were enabled for their bot account using their own password/token, avoiding the need for admin credentials.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add API that responds to a bot token/password that returns enabled features, i.e. "webook, reactions"

Describe alternatives you've considered
Extra code that attempts to check what's enabled by trying a established talk room the bot is enabled for.

Can you give a descriptive usecase what this would be useful for?
If the bot does not have permissions it can also not inform someone and the bot could simply try and then report the received error to some logging?

@nickvergessen this is more helpful for AI agents / AI harnesses hooking into Nextcloud as a bot.

Currently via openclaw/openclaw#79657, openclaw has it polling using admin credentials which seems risky especially given the current nature of AI systems. As the current talk plugin tries to check which features are enabled before trying everything.
