## Why get_recent_trades is rated Low

This tool retrieves past trade data for informational purposes only. It does not execute trades, modify positions, transfer funds, or cause any irreversible changes. Despite being on a financial trading platform, the tool itself is purely observational and poses minimal risk when misused by an AI agent—the worst outcome would be excessive API calls or information disclosure, not financial loss or unwanted…

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_recent_trades' and description 'Get recent trades for a symbol' indicate data retrieval with no side effects. This is a query operation that fetches historical trade information."

## Use case

AI agents call get_recent_trades 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_recent_trades": {}
  }
}
```
