## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why get_position_info is rated Low

This is a query/retrieval operation that returns account position data without side effects. While the Bybit server has financial capabilities overall, this specific tool only reads existing position data. Severity is low because the information retrieved is static account state that an AI agent could view without causing financial harm.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool retrieves position information (size, value, PnL, margin) for monitoring purposes. No modification, deletion, or financial transaction occurs. Description emphasizes 'monitoring and risk management' without mentioning order execution or state changes."

## Use case

AI agents call get_position_info to retrieve information from Bybit MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Bybit MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_position_info": {}
  }
}
```
