The torrent file is downloaded over a secure connection that you can’t monitor. Can you please tell me which messages in the BitTorrent protocol contain the filenames?

Can't you just look up the hash on DHT? Since hash is the only mandatory field in a Magnet URI.

Of course but connecting to a peer to peer network and looking it up doesn’t sound ‘trivial’ to me.
