Why batch_place_order needs a policy

This tool places multiple live trading orders on Bybit, directly committing financial obligations in markets. Misuse could result in large unintended positions or significant financial losses across multiple simultaneous orders, warranting critical severity.

From the tool's definition "Place multiple orders in a single request" on a server that "enables AI assistants to execute trades, manage positions" via Bybit's trading API

POLICY

How to control batch_place_order

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Bybit MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for batch_place_order:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "batch_place_order": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to batch_place_order is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.
