What amend_order does on Bybit MCP Server
AI agents use amend_order to create or update resources in Bybit MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Bybit MCP Server environment.
Why amend_order is rated Medium
Amending an order modifies existing trading data reversibly (the order can be amended again or cancelled), placing it in the Write category. However, since this operates on financial trading orders on Bybit, misuse could result in significant financial exposure — changing prices, quantities, or directions of pending trades.

The rule that runs amend_order safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Bybit MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For amend_order, this is the rule to start with:
amend_order stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Bybit MCP Server, apply this rule, and every amend_order call is checked against it from then on.
