Cancel multiple orders in a single API call.\n\n- Max 20 orders per request for futures/options, 10 for spot\n- Each order requires either
AI agents call batchCancelOrders to permanently remove resources in Bybit MCP Server — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Cancelling orders is an irreversible action — once cancelled, orders cannot be reinstated. Batch cancellation amplifies the blast radius significantly, as a single misuse could cancel up to 20 active trading orders simultaneously, potentially disrupting hedging strategies or open positions on a cryptocurrency exchange.
From the tool's definition Cancel multiple orders in a single API call — 'cancel' indicates irreversible removal of active orders, up to 20 futures/options or 10 spot orders at once
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access batchCancelOrders gives an agent:
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 batchCancelOrders:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"batchCancelOrders"
]
}batchCancelOrders disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
